THE YOUNG VOTE (Diane Robinson 2022)

A short film about the importance of getting out the biggest block in the American electorate, the 18-29 voters. Robinson uses a conventional talking head presentation - which still works for a utilitarian informational doc like this one - and provides young role models, white, black, Latino, to show how the percentage of participants has grown since 2016 and how gerrymandering, shutting down polling places, and other ways of restricting the vote, are at war with this.
