One fall day in 2018, Ellen Jovin set up a folding table on a Manhattan sidewalk with a homemade sign that said “Grammar Table.” Right away, passersby began excitedly asking questions, telling stories, and filing complaints. What happened next is the stuff of grammar legend. Ellen and her filmmaker husband, Brandt Johnson, took the table on the road, visiting all 50 states as Brandt shot the grammar action. But this story transcends grammar. It's the story of an epic quest in a divided time to bring us all closer together.

Director's Statement

When my wife, Ellen Jovin, first started setting up her Grammar Table in the fall of 2018, I would sit nearby and watch the interactions she had with people from every imaginable background. In a time of extreme social and political division, the Grammar Table was a place of laughter, unity, and connection. It quickly became clear that I needed to share what I was witnessing with the world. So I started filming. I hope you enjoy the show!
