Rational Middle is an award-winning collaborative that takes on important and controversial topics to drive thoughtful conversations. Our objective is to bring facts to the public through the mediums of documentary film, the written word, podcasts, and social media. In doing so, we hope to break conversations away from unproductive back and forths and toward solutions.<br><br>\nEnsuring that the information we share is accurate and surrounded by the proper context while rejecting extremist rhetoric is incredibly hard, but it is the only way to create an environment where people, companies, and governments can have rational discussions about the future.<\/p>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
