This episode of the Emmy Award-winning series Point of No Return delves into the intense polarisation and increasing tensions in the US during the 2024 presidential campaign. It addresses the widespread fear that, regardless of the November election outcome, the nation would face further division, protests, social unrest and even violence.
Is the fear of a coming civil war justified or merely paranoia amplified by social media? “Armed and Divided We Stand” explores how the pandemic, the Trump and George Floyd protests, the January 6th Capitol assault, the Ukraine war and the new Cold War with Russia and China are affecting US society. These events have driven many, regardless of their political views, to arm themselves and embrace “prepper” culture, reflecting fears of a total collapse and a dystopian future.
Both Democratic and Republican voters believe that problems will persist and worsen, regardless of who is President. Do the assassination attempts on Donald Trump mark a point of no return for the US, raising urgent questions about the nation’s future?
This documentary was produced by TV3 and directed by Raül Gallego Abellán. It was first released in 2024.
