Undivide Us Screening and Discussion - Colorado College - Colorado Springs, CO

About the film: “As news and social media amplify a narrative of an America on the brink of civil war, politicians in Washington, DC stir conflict: red against blue, rich against poor, urban against rural, race against race, and man against woman. They cast us as enemies locked in battle, usurping power and posing as our saviors. UNDIVIDE US challenges the idea that citizens who disagree are not capable of civil conversation and demonstrates the truth that, even in our differences, the American experiment is still alive and well.”

After the one one-hour film, Martín Carcasson (founder of the Center for Public Deliberation at CSU Fort Collins) and Amber Coté (Senior Director of Community Relations for Rocky Mountain PBS) will guide an hour of small-group discussions of the film and its themes. We’ll use a Living Room Conversations model that “offers a simple, structured way to communicate across differences while building understanding and relationships,” followed by a share-out to the full group.
