[5 stars]
The single, most important film this year so far. Whether you grew up during these fights or not. Whether you think you know all about it or not. Whether you want to hear the message or not:
See it. Get Angry. Vote.
Learn from it. Hear it. Vote.
Basically: VOTE
In case it isn’t obvious, directors Lisa Cortes and Liz Garbus, with the help of Jack Youngelson’s script, created a compelling presentation of Stacey Abrams gubernatorial run, while providing a historical and contextual framework for the history of voting in America. It’s a call to action that cannot be denied.
Honestly, I wept and gritted my teeth openly…and I knew most of it going in.
