This Tuesday, September 18th, the League of Women Voters of Door County is hosting a screening of the movie Patriocracy at the Door County auditorium at 7 p.m. The League's website says this about the film:

 

"Documentary film "Patriocracy" offers a "non-partisan examination of the Washington dysfunction and hyper-partisanship undermining America's ability to tackle its most serious problems. Whether it's the national debt, healthcare reform, the war on terror or illegal immigration, Americans are shouting at each other instead of listening to each other. Patriocracy brings an all-star cast of Senators, Congressmen/women, top Washington journalists, pundits and academia to the screen; giving their candid and comprehensive insights into the factors behind extreme polarization. It offers a detailed examination of how Americans have become so polarized over the past decade. Patriocracy is produced and directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Brian Malone and is Executive Produced by well-known producer, Stephen Nemeth."
