Good Trouble Film Series – Democracy Under Siege
September 10 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm EDT
Join us for a free screening of the documentary film, Democracy Under Siege, followed by a panel discussion about election security and voting rights as we head toward the midterm elections.
Oscar- and Emmy-nominated director Laura Nix traces the complex history and modern challenges of American democracy, connecting executive overreach, constitutional and judicial issues to their roots in U.S. history through commentary by subject matter experts and political analysts. Democracy Under Siege explores the erosion of multiracial democracy, a circumstance which has been further underscored by the Supreme Court’s Calais decision and extreme gerrymandering, since the film’s release. The film features Heather Cox Richardson, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Steven Levitsky, Melissa Murray, and Pulitzer winner Ann Telnaes.
Doors open at 5:30 pm. Screening begins at 5:50pm. Screening is in-person only, with no live stream or recording. This event is free but donations are appreciated.
