Movie review: American Troubles: A Tale of Two Democracies
American Troubles: A Tale of Two Democracies is a film from 2026. It is catalogued under History, Documentary. Its listed tagline is “democracy is on the ballot... and the ballot is broken.”
Story
America's democracy feels more divided than ever - but what if the problem lies in how we vote? "American Troubles" explores whether proportional representation could break the cycle of dysfunction, drawing comparisons from two striking case studies: Portland, Oregon, where a bold new voting system is reshaping local politics, and Northern Ireland, where proportional elections helped end decades of violent conflict. Blending history, reform, and human stories, the film shows how electoral rules can entrench division - or create space for compromise.
