The Great Experiment

Description

FILMMAKER IN ATTENDANCE!

What holds a people together when the story they tell about themselves begins to fracture? THE GREAT EXPERIMENT is an epic poem in documentary form – a mirror held to a nation at war with its own reflection, asking not who is right, but whether the experiment itself can survive.‍ Filmed in stunning black and white across diverse regions throughout the United States from 2017 to 2020 (including right here in Wisconsin!), this film serves as a meditation on the recent past that refracts our lives into the near future.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Stephen Maing!
