This week, WTTW premiered the documentary “American Creed.” The film examines political divisions in the United States, and how different Americans are working to push the country closer to its ideals.
It features a friendship across race, gender, and party lines between two Stanford University colleagues: historian David Kennedy and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
On Wednesday, Brandis Friedman sits down with Rice and Patricia Harrison, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting president and CEO. They discuss worsening polarization, the important roles of the State Department and the CPB, and what they hope viewers take away from “American Creed.”
