Description

Join the Michigan Community Scholars Program and members from the community for a screening of the film: Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight to Vote. 

Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight To Vote (2022) by Robert Greenwald (Director of Outfoxed, Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price, and Making A Killing: Guns Greed and the NRA) is a documentary that focuses on recent voter suppression and subversion laws being enacted in states, and how the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp provides a case study for understanding today’s voter suppression laws across the country. Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight To Vote now includes perspectives from voters in Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Georgia that highlight how these new laws will affect their constitutional right to vote.

This 44-minute documentary film is unrated. This event is in partnership with the Michigan Community Scholars Program at the University of Michigan, a program which brings together students and faculty who have a commitment to community service, diversity and academic excellence.
