To See Each Other is back on September 24! This season George travels to Merrill, Wisconsin - population 9,000 to get to know a group of small town folks fighting for community and dignity for the elderly - and a better future for us all. A beloved public nursing home is unexpectedly up for sale and a group of locals thinks there’s something fishy going on. There are closed door meetings, unknown outside buyers, and the threat of private money coming in to change public institutions. Folks are angry about being treated like they’re expendable – and they’re deeply afraid about what this means for them. It’s a heart-pounding roller coaster of a fight - in a swing state that could determine the election.
