Description:
Following the 2016 national election, Frederick Wiseman headed to Monrovia, Indiana, to document life in small-town America. With a population of just over a thousand people, Monrovia is representative of the heartland that was key to Donald Trump’s election as president. Without stating so overtly, Wiseman’s film presents a kind of inquiry, showing us a place where Americans are mostly white, Christian, and tied to the land. Monrovia, Indiana is a time capsule of the present political moment in America as well as a lasting and beautiful film portrait of a community and a way of life.
