How Democracy Works Now

Overview

We wanted to look into the black box between elections and legislation, and understand what sorts of collaborations and pathways were actually there. The idea we chose was immigration reform, and the tale we followed took us all over -- Iowa, Kansas, California, and Arizona, as well as Capitol Hill. We've ended up with twelve films linking dozens of fascinating people, each connected by a commitment to change the way that the United States handles the bedrock national identity issue of immigration. Together, the twelve make up one very big story -- a story that's only visible at the end of the journey.
