"What's the Matter with Kansas?" (trailer)

A new documentary film by Laura Cohen & Joe Winston. Based on the best-selling book by Thomas Frank, What's the Matter with Kansas? plunges deep into the heart of Middle America, offering an intimate portrait of the heartland conservatives who twice elected George W. Bush.

The Kansans in this movie hold strong political views, but they are also complicated, smart and breathtakingly honest. We think we already know them — but we don't.
