Divided Together is a political satire that takes place within an alternate reality. The film portrays the leader of an ideologically ambiguous government as he has an awkward and leering interaction with a make-up artist, followed by his televised address to a newly-invaded country.

The film attempts to illuminate the spectacle of the media and political arena utilising Brechtian alienation to consider the absurdity and artificiality of contemporary politics. Politicians as actors; the obscene as mise en scène.

The film premiered at the EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam.
