How We Got Here

Hi everyone,

I’m sharing my first feature-length documentary about how globalization and economic changes have influenced the rise of nationalism in the U.S. I begin with WWII and make my way to the present day. It’s about 2.5 hours long and made mostly from archival footage and public domain material. Narration is still to be added.

I've created it in the style of Adam Curtis, a documentary maker for the BBC. I'm really interested in the way archived footage - combined with compelling music - strengthens a narrative. I have made the documentary to be as objective as possible, which I believe is crucial to tell my story both effectively and powerfully.

I’d really appreciate any feedback on pacing, structure, clarity, and overall impact. Thanks so much for watching!

I've attached the link below.
