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 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?
