Social media. Online classes. Zoom meetings. Contactless payment. Mobile ordering. We live in a time when we are bombarded with notifications and access to information. We seem so constantly connected, yet many people report feeling more disconnected than ever before.

Based on the book Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam, the documentary Join or Die explores the decline in civic engagement and its consequences. How do declining membership rates in everything from organized religion to bowling leagues lead to a breakdown in public trust? How does a decrease in dinner parties and church picnics result in the fall of democracy?
