It's so wonderful.
This guy, and I don't remember anyone's names from it, sorry, but this researcher researched for a long time governments and societies and little different regions, and I think mostly in Italy at first, and then he came back to the States.
He's from the States.
He basically did research on what makes people feel cohesive?
What is the basis of community?
What makes rich community where people feel bought into their democracies?
What is that thing?
And he basically started charting it with involvement in social groups like Kiwanis or the Elks Lodge or choirs or choral groups.
These things that we used to have so many social clubs.
The women's suffrage movement started out like a women's social club.
And many of W.E.B.
Du Bois' speeches came at social clubs, places where people gathered to be part of societies and things.
But as mistrust in the government and disenchantment with democracy has gone up, in a pretty straight line inversely, association with groups has gone down.
And I was so fascinated by this.
It's a really, really good documentary.
It's on Netflix.
Shout out, you guys.
Shout out.
Shout out, Netflix.
You're doing great things.
