In a political moment defined by partisan conflict, "Battleground" is an intimate exploration of the state of our democracy as seen through the eyes of two opposing grassroots political leaders. 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. The film takes place in the pivotal county of Lehigh Valley that voted for Obama twice and then flipped to Trump in 2016. Educational licensing and more info: https://www.twinseasmedia.com
Battleground’s result is a film that skillfully lends itself to an all-important dialogue between parents and teens about respectful communication with others, and that it’s okay to agree to disagree.
