“The Reunited States” Film

At a time needed most, "The Reunited States" is a powerful and urgent documentary that follows the unsung heroes on the difficult journey of bridging our political and racial divides in America: including Steven Olikara, founder of the Millennial Action Project. For months, this film crew followed Steven and MAP while we worked to activate a new generation of lawmakers.

Susan Bro, who lost her daughter when a car drove through a crowd in Charlottesville, and David and Erin Leaverton, a Republican couple who travel to all fifty states in an RV to find out what divides us, are just a few of the other characters profiled in the film. Each of these bridge-builders have realized that while our divides run deeper than they ever could have imagined, so does the love and hope to bring our country back together. Based on Mark Gerzon’s book The Reunited States of America, the film urges us to consider that everyone has a role to play in reuniting the country.

“The Reunited States” is executive produced by Van Jones and Meghan McCain, and is now available on Amazon, iTunes, and many other platforms. Watch today!
