It’s a fitting documentary to make available to watch for free, as All In spotlights the history of voter suppression in the States — an ongoing issue that continues to have very real and dangerous effects today. Not only will it educate citizens about the importance of voting, but it will finally provide some insight into all those Stacey Abrams ads that have been popping up all over YouTube.
Here is the synopsis for All: The Fight for Democracy:
“Voting is fundamental for our country and democracy, and should be accessible and available to Americans everywhere. Today All In: The Fight for Democracy will be accessible on multiple platforms in support of voter awareness and registration for all Americans,” said Abrams, whose Fair Fight Action organization launched ana non-partisan social impact campaign at AllInForVoting.com, which has recruited various celebs as ambassadors, including Taraji P. Henson, Connie Britton, Tyler Blackburn, Zooey Deschanel, Don Cheadle, Gabrielle Union, Seth MacFarlane, Padma Lakshmi, Melissa Ethridge, Zach LaVine, Viola Davis, Janelle Monáe, and more.
In anticipation of the 2020 presidential election, All In: The Fight for Democracy examines the often overlooked, yet insidious issue of voter suppression in the United States. The film interweaves personal experiences with current activism and historical insight to expose a problem that has corrupted our democracy from the very beginning. With the perspective and expertise of Stacey Abrams, the former Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, the documentary offers an insider’s look into laws and barriers to voting that most people don’t even know are threats to their basic rights as citizens of the United States.
Directed by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Liz Garbus and Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Lisa Cortés, All In: The Fight for Democracy is produced by Garbus, Cortés, Academy Award-winning producer Dan Cogan and Stacey Abrams.
