Next week The Feed has a half hour documentary election special “Grassroots America”, with Jeanette Francis meeting the real grassroots campaigners helping to sway the vote in their local communities.
In Nevada, Jan spends a night in a brothel with the Hookers for Hillary to talk running a business, healthcare, feminism and what the first female president could do for women.
Delving into one of the biggest issues of this election campaign, Jan heads to the (for now) wall-free US-Mexican border to chat to perhaps the most unlikely of political supporters; the Latinos for Trump, and has a first-hand run in with the chaos of border control.
From Texas to California, Jan follows the emotional story of the pro-Hillary gun control advocates, who used to be devoted Republicans until guns became an all-too personal issue.
Trump, Clinton…or maybe something else? Jan finds a group of young millennials disillusioned with the two party system looking for an alternative altogether, who are flocking to New Hampshire in a bid to create their own libertarian ‘Free State’.
These are the real voices of the USA, and The Feed are on a mission to get to the grassroots of their hopes and visions for the American dream.
