Vote HERE: A film for the people by the people (2020)

"Vote HERE" is a powerful documentary that features the turbulent ways voting rights have evolved from the inception of the U.S. all the way to present day - including the current youth movement. Highlights include the stories behind why states control the voting process; the founding of the notorious Electoral College; African American and Women's Suffrage; how the demeaning and volatile legacy of disenfranchisement also led to felons losing their right to vote; the controversial role the courts have played in shaping modern day voting rights; and the heartfelt and explosive story about the inception of the Voting Rights Act featuring U.S. Rep. John Lewis, who shares his own personal journey that led him across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma that fateful 'Bloody Sunday' in 1965. Renowned historians, journalists, scholars and legal experts bring our history to life with intimate details and little known stories that are pivotal in the way people are now able to vote and of those that were denied along the way. "Vote HERE" showcases how countless patriots have fought and even died for our right to vote. Complementing the film's historical revelations are the profiles on current day hard-working activists, non-profits organizations and spontaneous interviews with the voters themselves. They all play an important role sharing their insight, inspiration and hope. "Vote HERE" is truly a film for the people, and by the people throughout our history who forged the way and continue to forge the way for what lays at the heart of a democracy - and our most cherished right - the right to choose who represents you.
