“Preserving Democracy: Pursuing a More Perfect Union”, a two-hour documentary traces American Democracy from the Revolutionary War to the 2021 Capitol Riot and beyond. It explores the ideals and flaws of democracy, recurring cycles of civil rights progress, and backlash.
The domestic assault on the Capitol complex on Jan. 6, 2021, stands out as one of the most shocking moments in American history. Incited by a sitting president, the riot caused the deaths of five people; 140 Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia officers and numerous civilians were injured, and a hole was torn in the democratic system the nation has nurtured for nearly 250 years.
As the country continues to grapple with the activities of the insurrectionists and considers the lasting impact of this event, a new two-hour documentary examines the pursuit of democracy, within our nation and others, on the anniversary of the 2021 Capitol riot.
The film tracks former President Barack Obama’s path to the presidency. It also explores how identity politics and changing ideologies across the country helped pave the way to the election of former President Donald Trump and the events that followed.
Narrated by Tamara Tunie (LAW AND ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, “Journal for Jordan,” COWBOY BEBOP), “Preserving Democracy: Pursuing a More Perfect Union” chronicles the history of the democratic system from its origins to the present. It addresses political divisiveness and threats to democracy around the world, considering global progress as well as regression and offering reflections on lessons learned.
The film looks to the present and future, including the push to educate voters on shifting voting rights rules and the role of a civics curriculum in education to engage and foster an informed citizenry on the anniversary of the deadly event.
