Description

While all presidential elections have some urgency, nothing has quite felt like Election 2020. Several of this year’s most remarkable documentaries have revolved around key issues of our time, such as voting rights, prison sentencing, and Supreme Court battles. Gathered here to discuss the importance of politically engaged filmmaking and how it can spur action and results are Garrett Bradley (Time), Lisa Cortés (co-director of All In: The Fight for Democracy), Dawn Porter (John Lewis: Good Trouble and The Way I See It), and Elyse Steinberg (co-director of The Fight).

Recommended Viewing:
