“All In” dives deep on a subject that couldn’t be more pertinent this election season: voter suppression. The documentary looks at the long history of voter suppression in the United States, exposes barriers still limiting access to the ballot today, and showcases the work of activists, then and now, who have fought to secure voting rights for all. The film stars Stacey Abrams, former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, gubernatorial candidate and founder of the voting rights organization Fair Fight.
Lisa Cortés, co-director of “All In,” is a veteran producer and director with more than 20 films under her belt. Among her producing credits are “The Apollo,” “Shadowboxer” and “Precious,” the latter of which was nominated for six Academy Awards and won two. Cortés’ feature directorial debut, “The Remix: Hip Hop X Fashion,” is now on Netflix.
Carol Anderson, professor and chair of African American studies at Emory University, has won numerous teaching awards and written multiple award-winning books. Her third book, “White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide,” won the 2016 National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism and was a New York Times editor’s pick. Her most recent book, “One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy,” was longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction.
We hope you can join us. Please register for the discussion here. <[link removed]>
