As Donald Trump’s candidacy gained momentum in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election, filmmaker Jim Stern (Every Little Step) wanted to find out why red-state voters seemed unfazed by his incendiary words. With candor and good will, Stern takes an on-the-ground approach, interviewing citizens in Florida, West Virginia, Arizona, and beyond to hear their side on the issues that continue to divide this country. American Chaos provides a hopeful perspective on an unprecedented and troubling political reality. A Sony Pictures Classics release
