In 2016, the Alvarez, Kolker and Stekler team executive produced Postcards from the Great Divide (http://www.politicalpostcards.org/the-films), nine short films about politics in nine states that illustrated the American political divide. The films were made for the Washington Post's website and later aired on PBS. They ranged from the disappearance of white rural Democrats in Kentucky, the challenge of getting out the Mexican-American vote in Texas, and the ideological and partisan sorting of people, inspired by Bill Bishop's The Big Sort", in Minnesota.
