Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club - and why the fate of America depends on it. In this feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary Harvard social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking "Bowling Alone" research into America's decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis.
Flanked by influential fans and scholars - from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker - as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions:
What makes democracy work?
Why is American democracy in crisis?
And, most importantly... What can we do about it?
