Katy Grannan: Are You Listening?

Film Description:
Commissioned by The New Yorker, the short film is the culmination of months of travel to all corners of the United States during the 2016 election season. The short film is my take on the nation's mood during one of the most important and contentious elections of our lifetime. The film's sentiment carries all the more weight in the election's aftermath.
