\"\"<\/a>Can\u2019t we all just get along? That\u2019s the hope of\u00a0Sam Ball<\/a>, the director of the new documentary film,\u00a0American Creed<\/a>, which tells a story of the American Dream, our nation\u2019s patchy history of advocating for equality, and the great red\/blue chasm in this country. This week on Sea Change Radio, host\u00a0Alex Wise\u00a0<\/a>speaks with Ball, alongside\u00a0Joan Blades<\/a>, co-founder of\u00a0MoveOn.org<\/a>, who\u2019s featured in the film. American Creed, which aired across the country recently on PBS, was made in partnership with Pulitzer Prize winning historian\u00a0David M. Kennedy<\/a>, and former Secretary of State,\u00a0Condoleeza Rice<\/a>. A wide swath of American voices are amplified in the film, including that of Blades, who talks about the idea behind her latest non-profit startup,\u00a0Living Room Conversations<\/a>, and the\u00a0ambitious concept<\/a>\u00a0of getting Americans to actually listen to one another across ideological difference. We discuss the film, look at the problem of polarization in the U.S. and debate the merits of listening to one another in a world where facts, science and math no longer seem to matter to far too many.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
