CNN and much of the liberal media clearly was shocked on election night 2016 when Donald Trump was victorious.

Shows like this are a healthy way to address the concerns that a lot of Americans have, while keeping an open-mind.

Van Jones is a very opinionated left-wing talking head, but this show does offer perspective from both sides be it from guests, or questions in the town hall format.

The Bill Maher episode was enlightening because he will always oppose Trump and speak emphatically about it, but he understands how he won and the changes the left needs to win in the future.

Right or left you can get something out of watching the show. We all need to come together and understand in these trying times.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.

Hearing about people's hopes and fears. Learning how to argue again. Complicating everyone's worldview. Understanding how people feel and challenging assumptions. This is not gotcha journalism. This is brutal honesty.
