Sharing an episode of To See Each Other, a show that complicates the narrative

about small town Americans in our most misunderstood, and often abandoned, communities.

This season, host George Goehl travels to Lincoln County, Wisconsin to follow a small town

battle for the last remaining public nursing home in the community. It’s a heart-pounding roller

coaster of a fight - in a swing state that could determine the election. Over the course of the

show, a universal truth emerges: That in every complicated set of politics, when we refuse to

give up on each other, we can build a better future.
