It takes a critical look at how Americans came to elect Donald J. Trump in the Presidential elections of 2016. After the screening of the film in Brookline, Massachusetts, congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined Dr. Raul Fernandez on stage to respond to issues raised by the film (in which she appears) as well as talk about her own campaign for the 2018 mid-term elections.

He is a well-recognized leader and accomplished speaker on issues of diversity and inclusion, with hundreds of attendees at numerous campuses and conferences having attended his workshops.
