Join or Die

Documentary - 99 MINUTES

Directed, Written & Produced by Rebecca Davis & Pete Davis

Description: Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club — and why the fate of America depends on it. Follow the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking "Bowling Alone" research into America's decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis. What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?
