With filmmakers Alexander Horwath and Regina Schlagnitweit in a Q&A hosted by Richard Linklater.

From the eminent writer, curator and film historian Alexander Horwath comes a personal essay about the United States, viewed through the life and work of a very special movie actor.

Here, Henry Fonda and the roles he played merge into a dazzling and conflicted figure. A very private man who thought he had “no good answers to anything” becomes the unlikely motor of a parallel history. His voice, recorded during his last interview in 1981, and his onscreen avatars guide us through America’s past and present – on a road trip from the village of Fonda, NY, across the Midwest to the Pacific; from 1651 to the 1980s and the presidency of another movie actor.

It takes many places and times and characters to imagine an invisible republic – the United States of Fonda, and Horwath leads us on a fascinating and thought-provoking tour of the place.
