„What the hell happened to my country?” After Donald Trump’s election, this is a burning question for Susanne Brandstaetter, an American filmmaker who’s lived most her life in Austria. A cinematic seismograph for the current situation in the United States.
With the critical distance of a European and an insider’s eye, she gets close to some Trump voters in Ohio: a microcosm of a deeply divided USA. Showing striking parallels to Europe, the documentary explores polarization and why people stick to their political opinions – no matter what.
“This Land Is My Land” makes a case for an objective, yet courageous debate.
