2020 was undoubtedly a year of destiny for the United States, with everything revolving around the word "election." Two four-hour documentaries will delve into the depths of the investigation, examining the increasingly painful racial divisions and the murky political environment in the United States. From the perspective of veteran frontline film producer Michael Kirk and his team, "The American Divide: From Obama to Trump" draws on insightful interviews with key political and cultural figures, as well as unprecedented in-depth reporting archives between two presidential administrations, providing crucial context for the current moment. The first part of the documentary traces how the rise of Donald Trump was laid groundwork by the intensifying racial, cultural, and political divisions, and how Barack Obama's promises of unity in his bold rhetoric were shattered. The second part examines how Trump's campaign team exploited national divisions, how his presidency unleashed anger on both sides of the divide, and what America's polarization means for the country's future.
