violence in the country is it's real. it takes someone very very strong to run this country and in my eyes i think is doing a very good job. a deeply divided splitting america politically economically i'm supposed to really this is a journey through this so-called land of opportunity. writers filmmakers and capture the current mood in the states. our 1st stop is new york city. and new

york used to be the city that never sleeps that was before code and the pandemic seems past its peak here but the big apple is still far from being back to no. on weekends when the weather is good people can at least gather and central part they were masks to keep said. donald trump during his election campaign even back that few well known artists and intellectuals supported him and this hasn't changed sense although now 4 years later when people know what to expect warnings about reelecting trust us presidents have grown more actions and. we've come to new york to meet 3 of the most right now. and authors in the country to find out what they expect and worry about and. paul auster. the beginning of the. democracy as we know that city that i think we are in

danger of losing this democratic republic and any time we live in a corporate totalitarian autocracy. as turns books have been translated into more than 20 languages he's also written no more printing place like disgraced or. so god. looks like. everything you've got and everything is going to feel. that. the bombers. yes. in his new novel homeland and the cheese factor describes the experiences of an author he named a yet actor whose father is a doctor who treated and may have become a trump supporter. the writer won't reveal what he made up and what is real in the book but his view of america is clearly expressed in these pages.

i think that in the last 50 years and this is the story that i tell in the last 50 years some notion of a collective good began to evaporate and what rose out of that dissolution was a commitment a fierce commitment to the individual i what i want what i need america is about protecting my rights my rights to have a gun if i wanted to make as much money as i want to use whatever bathroom i want. it's all the same that's not a vision of a collective society one come like temps that has lasted just a couple of austar and ceased. they've been married for 40 years and they're one of the most famous maturing couples and the us. each time one of them writes a new book the other is its 1st reader and critic.

both believe trump's reelection would pose a threat to democracy which is why together with other authors they have set up the platform writers against trying. weekly online discussions and weaponize they make the point that the u.s. election in 2020 could be the most important in a generation. the pressure of living under the trumpet ministration and watching day to day their erosion of institutions that i think many americans thought were reasonably safe. young people on the progressive side of things who are not happy with the by. and of the so i did not vote i mean there are a lot of these are. people who say i don't want to contaminate myself with this guy i don't like any of it well it's a it's a dangerous be more different i would plan to deal with this pandemic responsibly.

and the country is more bitterly divided and in over 50 years but deficient and bigotry are not new in the u.s. they were already well established when city she spits grandparents emigrated from norway and lost everything during the great depression. but they were left wing but they are prejudiced were very similar to the right wing prejudices today anti elite prejudice they railed against bankers and i think one has to remember that bankers. at the time and it remains a code for jew in the context and city slickers people who lived in the city's urban types fancy mansi types my grandparents were really ahead had those prejudices what's happened in that part of the world now is that it's flipped

from left to right. but it's all it goes away back. until recently new york was known as a center of arts and culture the city often plays trails that the rest of the world follow. now survival especially the economic kind is the main priority and not just for artists and 2016 almost each percent of your perspective democrats get donald trump is a republican president who has been and victim of trumpets re-elected president here fear it will become even harder to get federal funding to face the chrono cross sense. and the u.s. has already been seeing recurring unrest for instance of a black lives matter and over measures and at stemming the spread of covert 19 even the words civil war are frequently. what will this country's future look like if it continues down this path. with the possibility for real violence in the country

it's real that could happen but i don't know how the next few weeks are going to unfold but there is a scenario in which contested power leads to trump calling for resistance and if that happens then i think the gloves come off. regardless of who wins the election it's difficult to feel optimistic about the current situation and what lies ahead for america difficult but not impossible. i'm optimistic about the present i'm optimistic about. the joy that one can experience here and now with those one loves doing things that one loves to do helping others. but i don't think. any of us is going to escape death so i'm probably ultimately pessimistic.

i mean that's what you get when you ask me a question why. the new yorkers are worried but how do americans outside of the major cities feel we spoke to 2 photographers who delved into the division within the u.s. . portray it tells a story. they all stand for themselves. thousands of them all they have in common is their home and to us. these pictures were taken by swiss photographers monica fisher under 2. they took them during a 5 month journey across the country together with their song elias. road trip took them to 40 states for the desert a group of cities suburbs and saw. the river they went they kept their eyes open for interesting characters. are found to be converted into

a photo studio. by the end of the trip sets up took just 20 minutes. to opted for whites a neutral backdrop. such as everyone was on the same level in front of the camera whether the subject was a top not a scientist in texas or a welder in ohio. you might we met most of them spontaneously either we looked for them an interesting locations or we just saw them while driving and decided to set up. i think. this is brenda this is brenda and that gun is always loaded. they were camping there he and his colleague brenda they said sure you can stay with us we'll keep watch this and he pulled out his gun and said you're safe don't worry we said that sounds good thanks they were conservative republicans real gun

in those ists she said that god had sent trump personally but they were so nice to us thought it to and from fanatical trunk fans to his enemies from proud patriots to people who are worried about the future of the country the swiss couple filmed their muscles and every class of us society by withholding any judgment and proceeding with curiosity they were able to make connections with all kinds of different people. the family divides its time between switzerland and new york. this last road trip give them a whole new insight into the u.s. and into why people voted for trump. must be its own ambition best it's easier to understand if you travel across the u.s. i think the american dream the promise of it is sort of shattered if you travel

across the us today especially in the center there are so many places where half the stores have shut down where life isn't that great and where there aren't so many prospects now lots of people work double jobs and yet they're barely making ends meet. so they're frustrated and their faith in that if they work hard enough their children will be ok is being eroded i think that's linked to why a phenomenon like trump it an absolute populist op became possible. to better understand their models the photographers interview them about their home and. hadley tate a rodeo rider from wyoming said nobody she knew. to democrats. some of the time it takes someone very very strong to run this country and in my eyes i think is going to be the job so i just say thank you and then i'd probably get a selfie with him or something like that i don't know who. i'm equal parts

from how different he different take on truth one minute with the president my personal message to him would be. women going crazy for no reason you also need to get a grip and start treating women right because we really run this country and you're trying to oppress us in some way like we're going to be extinct no women are going to be around for ever so we're going to have to learn how to deal with us and give us rights that we deserve that we've had since before you were the president. memon was up if you talk to people about personal matters or don't see this divide which even runs through families or friendships but as soon as you bring up politics things get emotional done bits in what's so not cool and it's like an underlying feeling that you notice it everywhere we photographed firefighters at a fire station in michigan and the doctor in there was very clear no politics no

religion no talking about any of that. why not that he knew how because people would start arguing. the divides really are deeply entrenched over here going on but it was pressure it can get nasty because people are so far apart at the moment why put it on and count the moment in which you're not the issue is so emotionally charged but when you're on duty together it can't interfere with the. oh i don't. want to fish or a materialist brushless larger than life pictures are on show at the stop for house museum in len's perth and there's a rush. to. the exhibitions name could also be this year's u.s. election slogan divided we stand. to diverse story seem less united at least seen from the outside but what's the

bill like from the inside. in germany people are also looking at the us right now. a photo exhibit in hamburg shows pictures of america that expose the myth of the american dream. magnum photographer matt black called this personal inventory of poverty migration and powerlessness american geography. using bold black and white images he depicts the underdogs in the land of endlessness abilities. the photographs look as if they were taken in another time. runs off is a bit off when i look at these pictures have to remind yourself that we're in the 21st century and. it's a powerful show and a world premiere which the photographer couldn't attend because of coronavirus.

black grew up in california the public image let's say of disneyland of silicon valley of hollywood all of that exists. but there is another california where it's hot weather is desert where farming is tough for transfer itself and that's the one he comes from. magic black began to document that california in 2014 the sadness does a lation the struggle for survival. for 5 years the photographer traveled through the us. you visited hundreds of places whose residents live far below the poverty line he gathered data discovered things . he met people who don't have health insurance unemployment benefits or any means of support. the photographer recorded his observations in

a diary. i drive north to flint past buick city which was once the largest automobile plant in the world in 1980 general motors employed 80000 people in flint today there are fewer than 8000 people living here. matt black's photographs tell stories about loss about lost jobs security and confidence. in one interview he said. when it comes to power in the u.s. it's always a question of race as well. my work also deals with the same issues who has access to power and who is excluded. as it is a perspective of the for this perspective of change or perhaps simply of the future is a method in the pictures to spot. it and this creates a glimpse of something of

a completely contradicts the american dream i mean. that black isn't trying to take shocking pictures he keeps a distance and doesn't dent the dignity of those who are struggling what's shocking is that these images show the present day looking at them the campaign slogan from 4 years ago to make america great again crumbles as a hollow promise the current reality looks very different. cover discrimination and police violence or problems that have many citizens riled up and also some filmmakers. black lives matter protests existed before trump but the trump presidency has energized the movement before the election films by in about black people films that look at themes of racism and police violence have taken center stage. after

the killing of george floyd director spike lee post the film editing real life footage with a similar chokehold death of eric garner in 2014 and scenes from his own 1909 film do the right thing do it right it was based upon the real live show murder. michael and then again. not just by strangulation i was being shot dead. in the heat you give made 2 years into the trunk presidency an innocent black man is shot dead. the result of violence and a fight for justice. black people poor people everybody the fodder ringback. in the documentary time woman struggles to get her husband released from

a 60 year prison sentence for robbery. waiting on. any information 'd like. films like this go beyond protest rhetoric show the fate of real people. the movies have helped shine a new light on the black lives matter movement. but tweens of the 18 year olds might. give us a warning no wag the living room is to have a father son black father. and i think that it has given people a different lens with which to evaluate that movement and i think that there were some people who make quietly been more dismissive of that movement as radical or

violent one for october porter's response to black lives matter was to look back at the obama presidency to the lens of official white house photographer pete sosa just like yours president obama bent over and what their kid touches her head with his hand that the image stands for how kids will see themselves differently for ever seen those photos again but they tell a story. not only about president obama but really about the office and how important institution was. and i realized it was. i think like a lot of people i kind of took for granted the stability of the the prior administration. i saw who is a smash how does it deal with crisis leadership character and empathy. culture where should you have there no god no guns the current us president seems

less interested in finding common cause than in demonizing black lives matter. the stated goal of b.l.m. organization people is to achieve the destruction of the nuclear family abolish the police abolish prisons abolish borders security abolish capitalism and abolish school choice that's what their stated goals are. m.l.k. f.b.i. looks back the gun. in attempts to suppress the civil rights struggle of the 1960 s. the director sees a parallel to trump today when shoppers out there are making frequent proclaiming that the suburbs will be destroyed and subtext since it's those people of color are going to come in destroy your can you. and you can law and order 'd and mean simply in america he black equal out. to dr king gave his famous march on washington pollard hopes his film can help americans to remember their own history

. in a memo dated the 30th of august no later than that. the 2nd person in the f.b.i. kevin sullivan. sends a urgent memo which he says. after the march on washington it's clear that martin luther king jr is the most dangerous negro. in america part of my agenda. is to deal with these issues that look at racism in america and social change i mean that's going to me way back when i was and continues. to it's continued with the rise and fall jim crow. you know with slavery by the way in essence it is a part of my. soul williams has also spent a career looking at what it means to be black in america in a kill is a skate which premiered at the toronto film festival williams plays a drug dealer looking to break out of a life of crime. a

slam poet iraq war and a filmmaker williams was and is always an activist 1st. just received word in work like a multimedia piece martyr loser king he mashed up the past current events and virtual reality to break with an american history that leaves out black voices. and you can look at you know the history of lynching in this country through the history of police violence or the history of policing and loitering laws and all of these things and all this is not civilized. this is barbaric. artists and filmmakers continue to draw strength and inspiration from black lives matter and not just the head of the election they are already looking to the time beyond the trump presidency the books are right. there will be you know

question of how we got here but also what we did after and i think like like i want to be part of the what we did after. for the time after trying it is the younger generation who hope that their voices will be heard. and that was our road trip through america cultural scene after the election the next pass will become clearer thanks for watching and.
