His inquiry into the United States&#8217; racial psyche becomes a lens for modern inquiry into how denial, cognitive dissonance, and unrecognized, unconscious attitudes continue to dominate racial dynamics in American life. The film\u2019s unusual narrative sheds a unique light on the unconscious political and moral world of modern Americans. Archival footage, newsreels, nightly news reports, and rare southern home movies from the &#8217;30s and &#8217;40s thread through the story, as well as psychological testing into racial attitudes from research footage, websites, and YouTube films.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hear from experts \u2014 historians, psychologists, sociologists and Myrdal\u2019s daughters \u2014 all filmed directly to camera. Witnesses work to exhume unconscious feelings Americans have about themselves and others \u2014 fascinated by the Myrdal question, and by how much true thinking and feeling unfolds in social contexts in an unconscious mode. What are the implications for individual responsibility and social justice in democracies like America&#8217;s?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Community Cinema is an outreach project of CMU Public Television and the Dennos Museum Center.
