About the film
Punctuated by the razor sharp political commentary of Pulitzer-prize winning editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes (formerly of The Washington Post), top political analysts lay bare the complex history and challenges of the world’s most influential political system, on the eve of the 2024 election.
As the promise of American multiracial democracy faces a renewed backlash, can the nation preserve its democratic ideals, or will it fall prey to an authoritarian takeover? A film by Oscar-nominated Director Laura Nix.
Featuring: Heather Cox Richardson • Rep. Jamie Raskin • Steven Levitsky • Melissa Murray • Elie Mystal
