The title of the 2024 documentary America's Burning, directed by David M. Smick and narrated by Michael Douglas, may evoke feelings of hopelessness and endless political divide, but the reality isn’t quite as grim.

We spoke with Michael Douglas, special guest Frank Oz, and members of the film’s creative team at its New York premiere.
