Tweet by Jonathan Haidt: Just watched the hilarious film Jesters and Fools. It's a reminder why comedy matters in a divided country. The film is touring campuses with @HdxAcademy and Sway AI, showing how humor bridges divides.

We have partnered with the team behind the short documentary Jesters & Fools. The film, featuring comedians like Jim Norton, Colin Quinn, and Mo Amer, shows how humor can lead to dialogue across deep political difference.

When paired with Sway's orientation module, students can put the film's lessons into practice through one-on-one, AI-facilitated conversations with peers who see the world differently.

Together, Jesters & Fools and Sway combine comedy and structured discussion to introduce constructive dialogue at the start of college.

To host a screening, see the film's website.
