All In: The Fight for Democracy
This is a documentary on voter suppression & the history of America’s democratic election flaws. The film focuses on Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s 2018 Democratic gubernatorial candidate, & her political activist work to achieve equal voting rights for all Americans. See how the abolishment of slavery, the women’s rights movement, & the civil rights movement helped to advance democracy when those in power fought unfairly to stay in power. If you are a true believer in American democracy, this is a hard film to watch as injustice sometimes overshadows our election system. If you fear the certain stereotypical people, you’ll probably feel like these are just the rants of a sore loser. The message here is, if you want to make America great, be sure to exercise your right to vote & make sure it counts.
Alien gives it 3 “Be Heard” stars out of 4.
