Days before Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, FRONTLINE premiered “Divided States of America,” a four-hour, two-part documentary miniseries examining events during the Obama presidency that revealed deep divisions in the U.S. and helped pave the way for Trump’s ascent.

With conflict and discord continuing to define the American political reality to this day, episode two of “Divided States of America” is now available to watch on YouTube for the first time. Its release is part of an effort to make FRONTLINE’s documentary archive widely available for streaming.
