American Purple is an episodic series that attempts to find an intersection of values between blue america and red america. sometimes counterintuitive, every story, told fairly, asks the viewer to address their own world view against the humanity of the subjects.
director Samuel miller, without a financial or editorial prescription, places himself in the place of a viewer attempting to understand a country that communicates with contempt. guided by a belief that most conflicts are centered around a misunderstanding, sam, through each film, searches for common threads that are more POWERFUL than the IDENTITY politics that have stigmatized blue american and red america.
are we so different, ultimately? maybe. but probably not.
