The Soul of America [HBO, 2020], follows writer, journalist, historian and prolific presidential biographer Jon Meacham as he offers his timely and invaluable insights into the United States’ current political and historical moment by examining its past.
Based on Meacham’s 2018 bestseller, The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels, the film illuminates our current fraught political reality by exploring historical challenges of the past, such as the
- Women’s suffrage movement;
- The incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II;
- McCarthyism, and;
- The struggle to pass Civil Rights legislation in the 1960s -- all instances in which “our better angels” battled against the forces of hatred and division that are recurring themes in American life.
The film also chronicles Meacham’s life and career as a journalist and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian as he shares his insights into America’s past and present.
