The American Sector

70 min. co-directed with Courtney Stephens

The American Sector takes viewers on a fractured road trip, encountering panels of The Berlin Wall that have been installed as public monuments throughout the United States. Visiting over forty sites, the film weaves together the stories people tell about these imported monoliths, capturing how artifacts bond the past and the present.

“There’s no predetermined narrative at play in this concise and elegantly crafted road trip.”
