Fury: America’s Uncivil War
Season 2
Episode 201
To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, if the country has a national mood, it’s mad. The fury has become so intense that it’s fractured our national psyche and provoked daily speculation from even the most blasé pundits about whether America is on the verge of another civil war. But where did all this anger come from? And how can we stitch our splintered country together again?
