    • Synopsis
    • In 2016, Americans elected as president the underdog candidate that defied every single poll from the start on his route to the White House. Donald Trump did not get there on his own. Behind his success are millions of dissatisfied Americans, and for them he has become a choice that transcended politics, tapping into a battle between good and evil.
      'The Disunited States of America' is an insight into the lives and minds of hardcore Trump supporters as well as his fiercest opponents. A portrait of their fears and beliefs in the months leading up to the unparalleled 2016 election. A we travel across the country we tell the story of America, a country unified by a democratic system, but also divided by discord, misunderstanding and sometimes racism.
      This is the story of the 2016 Presidential Election through the eyes of the people that elected Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. The intent is to move from populism and rhetoric towards a better future for the American people to be more united.
