At a time when America is deeply divided, The Reunited States is a powerful documentary following unsung heroes working to bridge political and racial divides. Susan Bro, who lost her daughter in Charlottesville, VA, and David and Erin Leaverton, a Republican couple traveling to all fifty states to explore our divisions, are among the featured stories. These bridge-builders discover that while our divides are deep, so are the love and hope needed to reunite the country. Based on Mark Gerzon’s book, the film reminds us that everyone has a role in bringing us together.
