A film about why you should join a club—and why the fate of America may depend on it. Follow the story of America’s civic unraveling through the work of Robert Putnam, whose legendary Bowling Alone findings light a path out of our democracy’s crisis.
There is widespread agreement that there are numerous individual and societal benefits of young people’s participation in clubs. But participation is on the decline overall. This is one factor fueling a crisis of loneliness. The award-winning film Join or Die (Why You Should Join a Club) is based on social research that shows the best way to turn things around is to increase involvement and engagement.
