Politics vs. The Law

Season 2024 Episode 1 | 2m 16s

This election day disturbance may be hypothetical, but the issues surrounding it are real. ‘DEADLOCK: An Election Story’ encourages civil dialogue and critical thinking in an era dominated by polarizing debates.

Location furnished by The New York Historical. Funding for BREAKING the DEADLOCK was made possible in part by PBS viewers.
