At a time when America is ripping apart at the seams, The Reunited States is a powerful and urgent documentary that follows the unsung heroes on the difficult journey of bridging our political and racial divides. Susan Bro, who lost her daughter when a car drove through a crowd in Charlottesville, and David and Erin Leaverton, a Republican couple who travel to all fifty states in an RV to find out what divides us, are just a few of the characters profiled in the film. Each of these bridge-builders have realized that while our divides run deeper than they ever could have imagined, so does the love and hope to bring our country back together. Based on the book of the same name, the film urges us to consider that everyone has a role to play in reuniting the country.

So generic is The Reunited States that Rekhi doesn't even have anyone specifically define what it currently means (in terms of policy stances and cultural attitudes) to be a Republican or Democrat.

Topical in broad strokes yet frustratingly allergic to particulars...

The Reunited States will most certainly light a fire in you, especially this idea of dehumanising and division that so many countries endure due to the rise of identity politics and casual racial bias and hatred.

Common Sense Media

Nothing in The Reunited States is revolutionary, nor are there many concrete answers about to how to foster unity beyond talking and listening. But the call for empathy and unity is important.

Rated: 3/5

Film Threat

The Reunited States is an essential documentary for anyone who's frustrated with the state of politics today, not only in Washington but at home.

Rated: 7.5/10
