Starring: Eddie S. Glaude, Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, Priya Parker, Raj Chetty
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.
According to Gallup, between 2000 and 2020, the percentage of US adults belonging to a church, synagogue, or mosque declined 20 points. This is one factor fueling a crisis of social isolation and conflict. 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 in fellowship activities.
