In 2024, FRONTLINE follows the changing views and experiences of Americans from the 2020 election to present day. Returning to voters filmed four years ago, the documentary provides a look at how their hopes and fears have changed amid another polarizing election season.

From the pandemic to the polls, 2020 was a time of tumult across a deeply divided America. FRONTLINE presented a post-election special on the lives, fears and hopes of Americans in the chaotic months leading up to the historic 2020 presidential contest. This documentary was filmed around the U.S. for much of the year, following Americans as they dealt with COVID-19 in their communities in the spring, responded to George Floyd's killing that summer, and then experienced the polarizing election and its aftermath in the fall.
