On August 5, 2016, Larry Andersen, an editor/videographer, was sitting on his sailboat moored in Boston Harbor talking with Tom Cosgrove, a strategist, at his cabin in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania.

Together, they hit on the idea of a new reality TV concept to bridge the deep divides in our democracy.

The result is Divided We Fall.
