For the first time in 30 years, a Democratic candidate is challenging the local power structure. Marlena Cooper is the first black woman to run for the Democrats in the Republican stronghold of Gregg County, in eastern Texas. Democracy in America chronicles her campaign and that of her Republican opponent Jay Dean, showing two communities that seem to live in different worlds. Through its protagonists, the film touches on powerful themes such as racism, abortion, guns, and, echoing Alexis De Tocqueville's Democracy in America, the fundamental role of religion. A journey into the heart of Texas, in search of the roots of the present and future of the United States.
