One fall day, Ellen Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a homemade sign that said "Grammar Table." It was such a hit that Ellen and her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, took the table on the road, visiting all 50 states as Brandt shot the grammar action. Yes, this is a grammar road trip movie, but the story transcends grammar. It's the story of an epic quest in a divided time to bring us closer together.
