City upon a hill

Cédric Von Niederhäusern

«City upon a hill» is an outsider's perspective of the election year 2016 in the United States. It is a dissection of the concept of politics into its component pieces - power, media, theater and tragedy. A divided nation is searching for its leader and the hack and slash of the candidates consume the political discourse pushing aside the more systemic issues that underpin the political landscape.
