Placing viewers directly within the most consequential events of the past year, Pelosi takes the pulse of the country while capturing the fervor of this precise moment. Powerful and provocative, AMERICAN SELFIE raises critical questions about the stark divisions in how Americans feel, and asks if it's possible to ever find a way to a more perfect union. As unthinkable perils engulf the land, Pelosi bravely captures the rising tensions among warring factions that eventually spill over and erupt into protests in the streets.
"The purpose of this film was to take the temperature of how people feel about America today -- to take a selfie of how America looks in 2020," Pelosi said. "It's an artifact of this moment in time, and I'm immensely grateful to Sheila Nevins, MTV Documentary Films and SHOWTIME for bringing this film to audiences at such an urgent time."
Pelosi has written, produced and directed 13 documentaries, including Outside the Bubble: On the Road with Alexandra Pelosi, The Words That Built America, Meet the Donors: Does Money Talk? and Emmy(R)-nominated Journeys with George, about George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign. Pelosi is also an author and began her career at NBC News, serving as a field producer for over a decade.
AMERICAN SELFIE: ONE NATION SHOOTS ITSELF is an MTV Studios Production for Showtime Documentary Films. Nevins serves as executive producer.
