American Voices 2026 (2026)
Over the past six years, a team of filmmakers has been following more than a dozen Americans in eight states across the U.S., charting their views about changes in the country and in their own lives. Now, a month before the midterm elections, how are these Americans — from a doctor to a pastor to a barber to a construction company owner to a retiree — feeling about the direction of the country? "American Voices 2026" asks how their hopes and fears have evolved amid another polarizing election season, a faltering economy, and a war with Iran that's now in its eighth month.
