What Would a Second U.S. Civil War Look Like?

What Would a Second U.S. Civil War Look Like?

The new movie “Civil War” asks: what could happen if the system of checks and balances that hold the United States together falls apart? Audie talks with the writer and director of the film, Alex Garland. It follows journalists as they make their way through a war-torn American landscape, one where Texas and California have gone to war against a three-term president who has disbanded the FBI and deemed journalists enemy combatants who may be shot on sight. -- The Assignment has been nominated for two Webby Awards in the categories of Best Host and Interview/Talk Show!
