It was on one of the cable systems in the past year, so I assume it was the 2016 election, but it might have been about 2024. The producer traveled around the country talking to people about their situations. I know part of it was in Arizona talking about immigration, and another part was in the Appalachians (Kentucky or Tennessee, maybe) talking about mining jobs.

The doc ends with the producer seeing the election results come in and that Trump was likely going to win. I’ve looked up numerous docs on the election, but haven’t found this exact one.

My first thought was it was titled by a date, so Michael Moore’s **Fahrenheit 11/9** came to mind.

A little research and I found a film that seems to match: **11/8/16** by Jeff Deutchman.

Seem close?

ETA: It really seems to be. Sucks that it happened again (RT with trailer)

Wow. . . I never would have remembered that as the title, but that it’s it. Thanks!
