We hope you’ve had a good summer. Here at FRONTLINE, we’ve been busy teeing up a fall schedule of films that asks the important questions:

Why are so many Americans falling into poverty? What’s behind the drug war on our border? Why are so many American teenagers dropping out of school?

And finally, a question that’s become even more stark as the 2012 presidential campaign kicks into overdrive: Why is this country so politically divided?

Check out a preview of some of our upcoming films above, and stay tuned for more on Sept. 25, when we come back with Dropout Nation and Oct. 9 with our election special, The Choice 2012.
