DocHouse: LDNDOCS: The Great Experiment

What happens when neighbors become strangers, when shared spaces become contested ground and when the very idea of a common future stops feeling possible? THE GREAT EXPERIMENT considers the results of what George Washington once called “our last great experiment” in democracy. Filmed in striking black and white across the US over four years, from 2017 to 2021, the film does not set out to adjudicate the political battles of its era but instead observes and engages the recent past with the critical distance of an archive.

Screening followed by a Q&A with Director Stephen Maing.
