ELECTION WEEK, 2008:

As a historic candidacy pushes the nation even deeper into an identity crisis of epic proportions, Larry turns to LeJean for a shared sense of outrage after witnessing a racially-charged incident on a New York City bus. LeJean's baffling response sends her fellow citizens into a mind-bending and side-splitting spiral of self-doubt. Hurtling from the pedestrian to the preposterous, YES WE CAN confronts the politics of identity and shared narrative, the antics and intricacies of stereotype, and compels us to ask: who are “we” when we say WE?
