A filmed social experiment
Breaking Bread With Strangers
Five strangers sit down to share bread, and a conversation that changes everything.
Why the table?
Not a debate.A real conversation.
Different ages, cultures, professions and perspectives — one table. Nobody is here to win an argument or change a mind. We're here to listen, to be curious, and to find out what we share.
Read why it matters →“I came in ready to defend myself. I left wanting to hear more of her story.”
“We didn't agree on much. But I'd sit at that table with every one of them again.”
“Somewhere between the bread and the dessert, they stopped being strangers.”

Where we're going
Fifty states. Countless tables.
Our next conversation will be filmed in North Carolina. From there, we hope to sit down in every state — and someday, beyond.
