(run-time 75 min + Live discussion and Q+A with ACLU-PA Elections Protection Coordinator Donnell Drinks)

What would happen if political operatives tried to subvert the sacred American principle of “one person, one vote?” What if they hatched and pursued that plan for years before anyone noticed what they were doing? Between 2016 and 2018, over 17 million names were purged from voter rolls across the United States. This is the frightening tale. Narrated by Jeffrey Wright, the documentary identifies, chronicles and unpacks a decade of dirty tricks of a shrewd ten-part strategy to undercut the right to vote. The need to see this award-winning documentary has never been greater—nor more timely.

The screening will be followed by a live discussion and audience Q&A.
