 PANEL:\n\n--Sylvia Albert, Director of Voting and Elections, Common 
 Cause\n\n--Alexandria Harris, lawyer & Executive Director, Andrew Goodman 
 Foundation\n\n--Courtney Cardin, Power the Polls, nonprofit partnerships 
 and influencer engagement \n\nHosts: Common Cause, Feminist Majority 
 Foundation, Ms. Magazine, \nGirls Learn International,  and the Andrew 
 Goodman Foundation\n\n"Capturing The Flag" is an urgent cautionary tale 
 that documents what’s in store for the \nfast approaching election of 
 2020, and a close-up look of American democracy at its most vulnerable 
 point. Through the intimate experiences of the film’s citizen volunteers 
 we are inspired to vote, to help someone else to vote, and to get involved 
 in the growing non-partisan efforts to protect our fragile democracy. 
 \n\nThe shocking voter suppression we see unfold in real time in "Capturing 
 The Flag" is proliferating across the country, as those who control local 
 elections have been emboldened to rewrite access to the ballot box along 
 partisan lines. With verité footage of Barack Obama and Reverend Dr. 
 William Barber II, the film is also a powerful call to arms for what we all 
 can and need to do in the ongoing battle for voting rights.\n\nSynopsis:  A 
 tight-knit group of friends travel to Cumberland County, North Carolina - 
 named a “posterchild” for voter suppression - 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” fundamental of our democracy.\n\nDealing with themes that are 
 constantly sensationalized and manipulated in the media -- \nLeft vs. 
 Right, North vs. South, Black vs. White -- "Capturing The Flag" offers 
 instead deeply personal, often surprising perspectives on the 2016 
 Presidential Election and its aftermath. \n
