"The fight over voting rights is ultimately about power." Amazon has released the first official trailer for a powerful new documentary titled All In: The Fight For Democracy, made by acclaimed filmmakers Lisa Cortes & Liz Garbus. This vitally important documentary takes a look at the history, and current activism against voter suppression; partisan barriers to voting that most people don't even realize is a threat to their basic rights as citizens of the United States. One of many doc films made in response to the undermining of democracy in America, in anticipation of the upcoming election and in hopes that America's democracy will not be lost forever. "With the perspective and expertise of Stacey Abrams, the former Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, the documentary will offer an insider’s look into laws and barriers to voting." This looks outstanding! It looks as invigorating and as damning as Ava's 13th. Let's go rock the vote.
