A raw and sobering four-part documentary series that explores the political, moral, and cultural fault lines that divide modern-day America.
Somewhere in America journeys through the nation’s heartland during one of the most politically polarized periods in American history. Whether grappling with a global pandemic, confronting issues of policing and race, or attempting to resurrect the American Dream; political consensus is hard to find in middle America. The four-part series, filmed from the beginning of the once-in-a-century COVID-19 pandemic through the onset of the 2022 midterm election cycle, explores the current zeitgeist and health of the working-class Midwest to understand racial fear and anxiety, economic downward mobility, embrace and rise of religious fundamentalism, and the Republican Party’s political realignment and paradoxical allure of Donald Trump.
