In a political moment defined by partisan conflict, Battleground is an intimate look at our current political divide, as seen through the eyes of two grassroots activists in the pivotal counties of the Lehigh Valley, PA. Tom Carroll is a Trump delegate, and a Tea Party Chairman, Greg Edwards is a Black pastor, and a progressive leader supported by Bernie Sanders. When their paths collide, we realize that they have much more in common than meets the eye.
The Battleground documentary is 56 minutes followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Hemal Trivedi and Jonah Markowitz.
“Sponsored in part by the Lehigh Valley Engaged Humanities Consortium, with generous support provided by a grant to Lafayette College from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.”

The Cost of Being Polarized
The American electorate is living a split-screen nightmare: on both sides of the aisle, the party faithful see their candidates as the only viable way forward and their candidate's opponent as a path of certain destruction. In addition, a majority of Democrates and Republicans cast doubt on the opposing party's campaign tactics with 65% of Democrats believing it very likely that the Trump campaign will cheat, if necessary, to win in November and 51% of Republicans believing the same for the Biden campaign. Such suspicion, while troubling, may have been tolerable if it remained at the level of national political leaders, but recent data reveal that three-quarters of Democrats view Republicans as more closed-minded than other Americans and nearly two-thirds of Republicans say the same of Democrats. This partisan animosity infiltrates even the most intimate parts of our lives, about seven-in-ten Democrats would not consider being in a relationship with a Trump voter, and just under half of Republicans say the same about a Clinton voter. How did we let this happen, what is it costing us, and where can we go from here?
