In the face of immense polarization, PURPLE, a new short documentary from political mediation organization Resetting the Table (RTT) and Emmy-Award-winning Transient Pictures, tells the story of everyday Americans with opposing viewpoints investigating their differences on the role of government, equity, work ethic, and the social safety net. Filmed in a swing region in rural Wisconsin, PURPLE models healthy debate on controversial issues, and the accompanying Discussion Guide teaches students two skills for understanding the motivations that underlie disparate positions and manifesting more productive discussion in their own lives.
