Review: One Nation Under

One Nation Under is a contemporary tragedy, set in 2005, about two mothers and their sons. Things do not end happily for either mother, and I don’t think it gives too much away to say that Lepcio’s strong humanist bent ensures that we understand that the family less equipped economically to deal with trouble bears the brunt of it. One of the lessons of One Nation Under—probably the most important one—is that we are currently living in a nation where the rich provide for themselves, and one way they do that is by dispatching the poor to do the dirty work for them.
