KENTUCKY DAZE

What happens when a spectacularly out of place British liberal walks into a diner in deep red state Kentucky, and finds common ground with a MAGA general, a KKK fanatic, and a trans mom?
 

Kentucky Daze is based on Pendry’s journey to Kentucky, USA, in October 2024 — two weeks before the election that would return Trump to the presidency. It’s not an analysis of Trump or his followers (because, hell, what can any of us do about that?) - but rather of the culture wars that threaten to engulf us all
