The Film

Through an ambitious and far-reaching mosaic of cinéma vérité filmmaking, THE GREAT EXPERIMENT offers a staggering portrait of America and considers the results of what George Washington once called "a great experiment in democracy." Documenting one four-year period of political upheaval from 2017 to 2020, this documentary provides a profound meditation on the intersection of our complex, ever-evolving individual and national narratives, inviting reflection on the nature and sustainability of this grand, ongoing democratic endeavor.
