How We Got Here

Ever wonder how our country ended up here? It’s interesting to attempt to trace the themes back through documentaries leading up to now. Below are a few that I’ve found particularly helpful; some directly engage the issues that we’ve seen come to a head, some indirectly address the issues.


SPELLBOUND (1999)

A fascinating look at privilege, class, and race – through the lens of a spelling bee.


FRIENDS OF GOD (2007)

A road trip into the heartland of America for a look at the many millions of evangelical Christians.


WHICH WAY HOME (2010)

Immigration through the eyes of children who face harrowing dangers as they endeavor to make it to the US.
