The film explores questions like: Who are we? Is there a useful “Unum” to
be salvaged from our increasingly fractious “Pluribus?" Where are we headed
as individual citizens and as a people?
Sumner will talk about ways in which we can constructively explore
America’s ideals and identity. In American Creed, former Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David M. Kennedy come
together from different points of view for a spirited investigation of the
idea of a unifying American creed. Their inquiry frames stories of
citizen-activists seeking to realize their own visions of America’s promise
across divides.
