Suppressed: The Fight to Vote, a new documentary by Robert Greenwald, weaves together personal stories to paint an undeniable picture of voter suppression in Georgia's 2018 midterm election where Stacey Abrams fought to become the first Black female governor in the U.S.
Georgians faced polling place closures, voter purges, missing absentee ballots, extreme wait times and a host of voter ID issues – all of which disproportionately prevented many students and people of color from casting their ballots. The film features experts, poll watchers and everyday Georgians speaking to the reality of voter suppression and the threat it poses in 2020.
