Abramorama Acquires Documentary ‘Join Or Die’ For North American Theatrical Release


Abramorama takes North American theatrical rights to 'Join or Die,' a documentary about the loneliness epidemic and Robert Putnam's "Bowling Alone" research.

EXCLUSIVE: Abramorama has acquired North American theatrical distribution rights to the award-winning documentary Join or Die, a film about community in America, the loneliness epidemic and Robert Putnam’s famed “ Bowling Alone ” research on civic decline and renewal. The pic from Develan Street Films features conversations with Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Jane McAlevey, Glenn Loury, Raj Chetty and Priya Parker, among others. The Bowling Alone research — which demonstrated that levels of American community connections were in decline over the past half-century — rocketed Putnam to national fame in the late 1990s, earning him the moniker “poet laureate of civil society” and the ear of presidents, religious leaders and tech founders over the ensuing decades.
