Description

Make America Laugh Again is a poignant political comedy about being brown and an immigrant in Trump’s America, seen through the eyes of comedians of Middle Eastern origin. Shortly after becoming president, Donald Trump imposed a “travel ban” on people from predominantly Muslim countries causing mass protests across the country and a fierce legal battle with civil rights groups. Aron Kader, a Palestinian-American comedian wanted to respond to Trump’s ban in the only way he knew: a comedy show featuring brown comedians. The Show takes place at HaHa Club in North Hollywood and plays to a packed house. During the pre-show, comedians get together and discuss the political climate in the country and in the end most agree that laughter is the best response.

    I have always loved learning about comedy and understanding how it can create social change. This documentary is the perfect composition on why comedy is one of the most effective weapons humans have for provoking change. Not only was it thought provoking, but it was engaging and extremely humorous. I highly recommend watching this documentary.
