Over the past six years, a team of filmmakers has been following more than a dozen Americans — from a doctor to a pastor to a barber to a construction company owner to a retiree — in eight states across the U.S.

A month before the midterms, how are these Americans feeling about changes in the country and in their own lives?

Their diverse views and experiences unfold in “American Voices 2026,” a 90-minute FRONTLINE documentary that offers a meaningful look at both what unites and divides the U.S. electorate as the midterms approach.

From a team led by award-winning filmmaker Mike Shum, “American Voices 2026” is the latest installment of a unique filmmaking effort begun in 2020. That’s when Shum and FRONTLINE started documenting the lives of voters with differing viewpoints as they navigated a year of extraordinary tumult, from the pandemic to protests to the polls, in the documentary “American Voices: A Nation in Turmoil.” Four years later, “American Voices 2024” chronicled how their hopes and fears had changed since 2020.

Now, “American Voices 2026” explores how their perspectives have evolved amid another polarizing election season, a faltering economy, and a war with Iran that’s now in its eighth month.

Filmed in locations ranging from the Austin, Texas area, to Hayward, California; from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Beaverdam, Virginia; and from Portland, Oregon, to Sioux City, Iowa, “American Voices 2026” is a journey across geography, race and politics that illuminates where our country has been — and where it is headed.
