    • Synopsis
    • Filmmaker Susanne Brandstaetter explores polarization in the U.S., which shows striking parallels to Europe.

      „What the hell happened to my country?“ After Donald Trump’s election, this is a burning question for Susanne Brandstaetter, an American filmmaker who’s lived most her life in Austria.

      With the critical distance of a European and an insider’s eye, she gets close to some Trump voters in Ohio: a microcosm of a deeply divided USA. Showing striking parallels to Europe, the documentary explores polarization and why people stick to their political opinions – no matter what. Is there no way out?
