Join In: Athens

February 1 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm

A logo for Leadership Ohio.

Leadership Ohio, in partnership with Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, presents the new documentary “Join or Die,” highlighting the importance of clubs in creating community and strengthening democracy.

In this feature documentary, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis.

Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?
