You could start by not labelling everyone and listening to people from the "other" side.   Otherwise, you will only be producing content that "your" side will find interesting.  You want to make this election about race, electoral college, etc...if it helps you "feel the burn" less, so be it.  
As someone who claims they like to deal in "facts" then you should closely look at the below:
42% of ALL women voted for Trump
4% more white COLLEGE-EDUCATED male and femal voters went for Trump
37% of ALL millenials voted for Trump
53% of ALL seniors over 65 voted for Trump
26% of ALL hispanic voters went for Trump
29% of ALL asian americans went for Trump
Another fact:
In the 2008 election, I voted third party.  I remember being called racist back then because I did not vote for a black president.  Today, I am racist for voting for a white man.  
The mainstream media lost this election for Clinton.  As an independent, I heard NO policy reporting at all.  I heard only that Clinton was a criminal and Trump was a racist.  Would I watch media that reports policy positions?  Sure.  To your point...where can I find it?
This is possibly your least true statement...this election showed that we, as a nation, are closer to 50/50 than we have ever been.  Clinton winning the popular vote by less than 1/2 of 1% over Trump shows this.
Some documentary ideas from this election:
Why did 7,000,000 people vote 3rd party?  Why did the blue and red platforms not reach out to them?  What were their deciding issues?
What happened to the "blue wall" we kept hearing about?  Perhaps people in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, could shed some light on this?  
What really drove white voters to the polls in record numbers?  Was it race, being tired of the liberal agenda being pushed onto them, etc?  (By the way, how DARE white voters go to the polls and participate in democracy!)
Is this the start of the Republican party now representing blue collar voters voters? 
Why did Trump get so many votes from Labor union voters?
What ideas can we advance that people agree on regardless of party affiliation?
 
 

@Ed_David  I will keep in mind this is a film forum
By the way, thank you for your Samung NX1 short...helped me determine it would be a good camera for what I do (film my family)...
This election cycle, the media gave us TRUMP (the "monster you see") versus CLINTON (the "hidden/corrupt" monster).  I voted against Clinton, for Trump.  Bernie may have won, taping into some of the very same "forgotten" middle class anger that Clinton ignored.  But what do I know...I voted for Ron Paul and John Edwards once  
This election cycle, the amount of negativity pushed at you was overwhelming.  No coverage of policies or anything of substance.  Regardless of political view, I feel Americans were short-changed on meaningful content...  Even now, the media is more worried about how their pundits missed "calling" the election right than reporting anything real.  People on the losing side were bound to be hurt, angry and scared...either way.  Even still, mainstream media is doing nothing to bring healing to the land... 
Your call to making informed content, not based on ratings,  is exactly what is needed (how, where to distrubute is another thing altogether)...
I know I'm rambling...just wanted you to know as someone who voted the other way...I share your hatred of the mainstream media and what they fed us for ratings...
 

Well said...we may even find out we were never really "two halves" to begin with...more like "four quarters"

Finally got a chance to take the camera out and about over the weekend.  Here is our latest movie from a visit to the Pumpkin Patch.
Same in camera settings as last time:  Gamma DR,  Color Red/Blue @ 1.0 and Green @ .95, Saturation -1, Sharpness -10, Contrast -3, Master Black 10, Luminance 16-235

Finalized my latest video...went with the SEDONA LUT on most of them...

Switched from using Gamma DR to Gamma C.
Here is a screenshot from some footage I'm working on now.

Gamma C, -1 Saturation, -10 Sharpness, -3 Contrast, +10 MB level.  Graded with IWLTDAP Seona LUT @ 45%.  Used 15% Gorilla Grain, Fine.

Maybe I was wrong...I do like the look of this though

Here is the most recent video I shot:
 
Shot mostly with the Rokinnon 35mm 1.4 lens.  Still using @ricardo_sousa11 video settings.  Tried some additional things this time, like sharpening and film grain.

@Damphousse  Your comments about the lens are true are why I bought the Sigma in the Nikon mount.  I do, however, think it's funny that the "professionals" on here all knock the NX1 because the company closed their camera business.  I can  honestly say that since the day they closed their business, especially with the hacks, the camera footage has actually gotten better.  Imagine that...people loving a camera so much they continually try to improve it   Shooting videos of my kids, I, like most people in the world, don't need an Arri Alexa.  If you only have $1200 to spend...you could do worse than the NX1...

Since you asked...I'll give you my 2 cents...
I also own the NX1, along with the Sigma 18-35mm (nikon mount), a 18-55 Samdung kit lens and a Rokinon 35mm (Nx mount).  I will admit to seeing the occasional Blackmagic footage and thinking it looks incredible...
However, for me, the ability to also take stills with the camera eliminated any of the non-4K blackmagics.  You can take still frames from 4k footage and they do look good, but, knowing I would need another camera for stills pushed me towards the Samsung NX1.  I don't worry too much about it being a "dead" system, as my budget only allows for a purchase like this every 4-5 years anyways.
Here is one of my NX1 videos:
 

@ricardo_sousa11 Nice images...you definitely get to go to some cool events!  My entry this month is certainly not as polished as yours, but, nonetheless, here it is...
 
Still using your settings.
Quick question...do you find it hard to focus with the Sigma 18-35mm?  I have it as well and it is a royal pain to make sure I am sharply focused, as compared to my Rokinon 35mm (which this was shot with).

We found our way to the beach last weekend and had to take the NX1 and Sigma 18-35mm with me.  This is a short edit.  Using the ASCEND LUT as the basis with some iMovie Film Grain @ 20%.  Hope you guys like it...
 
 

In-camera was Gamma DR, master black 5, Luminance 16-235, Saturation -1, Sharpness -10, Contrast -3, Red /Green X0.95, Blue X1.00.  Shot at 24p.  Converted to 422 ProRes (LT) in EditReady, then pulled into Final Cut Pro.

As someone who has yet to install the hacks...it would be nice for Andrew to install them and spotlight these developments with a proper article.  You can find tons of information / reviews of the ML hacks for Cannon...all of this for the NX1 is found on two forums.  
Since I also purchased Andrew's NX1 guide, I think that should be updated with at least a summary of the possibilities that are now possible and how that can lead to a better image.

Just wanted to thank you guys for all the good setting above.  I am by no means a professional, just a dad looking to make good videos of the family.  Here is a screenshot of my latest movie, Playtime...
