Dealing with Feeling America Unfiltered and What It Means to Be American
Filmmakers Horacio Marquinez and Kirill Myltsev join Dr. Marc Brackett on Dealing with Feeling for a special bonus episode about their documentary America Unfiltered.
They drove across the United States collecting voices that rarely get centered. What they found was not just a story about politics. It was a story about pain, belonging, empathy, and what happens when we stop listening to each other.
In this conversation
- What it took to film across a divided country
- Why listening without judgment changes the entire room
- The emotional toll of witnessing January 6 firsthand
- What they learned from living and working in close quarters for months
- Why empathy is harder than it looks and still worth it
