HOST A SCREENING
Why Trump? Part 1: Death of the American Town focuses on the economic decline of small-town America—exploring lost industry, shifting identities, and the roots of political change. It’s ideal for audiences interested in jobs, the economy, and how rural America reshaped the national conversation.
Why Trump? Part 2: Two Americas dives into the cultural and racial divides that define modern America. From Tulsa to Chicago, it examines history, identity, and the growing fractures between communities—perfect for deeper discussions around race, politics, and social dynamics.
Both films are powerful on their own—or paired together for a more comprehensive, two-part event experience.
