STARS AND STRIFE

Executive Producer   

Airing on STARZ.         

United we stand, divided we fall: How an epidemic of hatred has left America helpless in the face of crisis. A common-sense majority is exhausted and eager for solutions. But they’re up against a hate industry devoted to contempt and division. Our politics value opponents’ demise over dialogue — and our elected officials put party over country.

A bi-partisan cast, led by director and economist David Smick and Academy Award-winning E.P. Barry Levinson, features a lively look at America’s current crisis by a wide range of noteworthy observers: Leon Panetta, James Baker, Rahm Emanuel, Alan Greenspan, Larry Summers, Niall Ferguson, Alice Rivlin, Amy Chua, David Ignatius, Ken Langone, Stan Druckenmiller, Larry Hogan, Jeff Rosen, Katherine Gehl, Arthur Brooks, Shelby Coffey, and Hawk Newsome. Airing on Starz, this documentary makes the case that when we come together, Americans can build a Main Street economy that expands opportunity and brings results. Most of all, we can rediscover empathy — the lost heart of our country. Stars and Strife argues that with reforms, America’s best days could still lie ahead.
