        “I can read about voter suppression and hear about voter suppression, but seeing it unfold  on screen is staggering in an entirely different way…” PBS’s Doc Soup

A tight-knit group of friends travels to Cumberland County, North Carolina intent on proving that the big idea of American democracy can be defended by  small acts of individual citizens. What they find at the polls serves as both  a warning and a call to action for anyone interested in protecting the  “One Person, One Vote” basis  of our democracy.
