Filmed across the country this past year by a production team headed by Mike Shum and Blair Woodbury, “American Voices: A Nation in Turmoil” captures the diverse perspectives of a number of people — a pastor, a barber, a doctor, an activist and more — as they deal with COVID-19 in their communities, respond to George Floyd’s killing, and experience the 2020 election and its aftermath as COVID cases and deaths mount once again.
This film is part of an ongoing project by Shum and Woodbury.

The country is not bad, it is the people that make it bad. Put the blame with where it belongs. The USA can’t speak people are the ones who speak. 😮😮
The older lady is so right, just because your white doesn’t mean you are racist I get tired of people calling everyone that is white is a racist. I got news for blacks natives Spanish are just as racist. Everyone is got some racism. It is a choice to love your neighbor or be a racist to your neighbor.
"We are going to wait for "orders"". Is that NOT the problem?
If we don't put an end to this racial strive the Chinese will take over and show blacks and whites both what real racism looks like. We've all had it so good we have become very weak and very stupid.
Hope all those idiots cheering for Biden like paying $4 a gallon for gas and the highest inflation in decades 🤨

If they want to stopped being "harassed" by the police, then they need to stop being responsible for a disproportionate percentage of crime
Being a nurse during the pandemic, I can tell you it would have been worse, but who listens or cares for nurses and doctors being overwhelmed!! They should have left everything open and see how many more deaths would have occurred. TRUMP is to blame for a lot of the stupidity that occurred! Science based facts should have been used!!
But happens more to black and brown folks!!!
Only three years difference between Biden and Rump!
Following the anti-lockdown protestors was so frustrating. The cyclic logic and empty statements that all boiled down to "I don't want to lockdown"
My uncle bought into this mindset. He died of covid during the delta surge. And seeing these people basically sing the praise of the lifestyle that got him kill is so upsetting.
Nothing beats the "I'm not racist, my ancestor helped black people" argument
"There's so much hate in the world"
2 seconds later
"I hope donald trump wins"
The imaginary recession
Mankind is on distorted mind and body frequencies
My wife who I have been married to for 11 years now. Gets raped though the electronics every single day/speed on in are own apartment and abused. There's nobody anymore to call except cold steel knifes that's it. The whole system is a joke anymore and every body rights are being violated every day in this country through the electronics when you are sleeping or awake. This technology is not good at all. Needs to go back 300 years amen. That's what really goes oni. This world now adays
COVID was all bull shit there's only 4 Italian people who are held responsible for all this American bullshit and I know there names
Ok…….I just opened this frontline episode and immediately paused it in order to forecast how frontline will portray conservative thinkers. I assume they are going to chronicle the political division we have here in America. I predict that they will represent the conservative voices by sampling poor racist, trailer park tenants, neo Nazis, the separate but equal idiots and other law information white folks. I'll come back and publicly apologize to frontline if I find no manipulating or misrepresentation of conservative thinkers. STAY TUNED….
how do we deal with a giant bowling ball of heart failure when it's stupid partner is feeding it?
how does a partner tell a big fat bowling ball that it is being stupid?
Christ be a man tonight
There is nothing Christian, like that ends with a Trump
Nobody thinks it’s great and wonderful! Nobody! We had attack by big money, big power, big media, and lies along the way! Nobody thinks it’s great
To the Pastor: In order for you to baptize, lay hands to heal, etc., your parishioners first have to be alive. COVID was a rapidly-spreading real disease that was killing your parishioners. Survival comes first.
