Press Reviews
Is it possible to bridge the divide? To understand and empathize with someone who you absolutely disagree with?
Susanne Brandstaetter, a progressive American from L.A. who’s been living most her life in Europe, wanted to find out, so she went to the swing-state Ohio to get to know some Trump voters...
Most of the voters who chose Trump in 2016 voted for him again in 2020. How do we begin to understand the other side, in a country that is as divided as during the Civil War? 'This Land Is My Land' begins with Trump’s tenure and follows swing voters in Ohio, who voted for him in 2016. The maxim: don't argue, listen. An unprecedented look at the fault lines in America that have now become a chasm.
