Chris Hedges 'America: The Farewell Tour' | Town Hall Seattle
How do we keep ourselves from losing faith in our country? Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges takes Town Hall’s stage for a provocative examination of America in crisis—in the form of his book 'America: The Farewell Tour'. America, says Hedges, is convulsed by an array of pathologies that have arisen out of a profound malaise of hopelessness. These have resulted in an epidemic of diseases of despair and a civil society that has ceased to function. Hedges asserts that the opioid crisis, the rise of magical thinking, the celebration of sadism, and a host of other ills are the physical manifestations of a society ravaged by corporate pillage and a failed democracy. Join Hedges for a sobering discussion of the changing landscape of our country—and a poignant cry from communities across America that seeks to jolt us out of complacency while there is still time.
