Capturing the Flag: Anne de Mare

In this video, Anne de Mare, filmmaker and director of “Capturing the Flag,” and Flora Davidson, Barnard College Professor of Political Science and Urban Studies, discuss themes in the film, including voter suppression in the 2016 elections and applying its lessons to the 2018 election cycle and beyond.

About the film:

A tight-knit group of friends travel to Cumberland County, North Carolina – the 2016 “poster child” for voter suppression – intent on proving that small acts of individual people can make a difference. What they find at the polls serves as both a warning and a call to action for anyone troubled by organized and often racist efforts around the country to disenfranchise voters, and anyone interested in protecting the ‘One Person, One Vote’ principle of U.S. democracy. Exploring themes that are constantly sensationalized and manipulated by the media, “Capturing The Flag” offers deeply personal, often surprising perspectives on the 2016 Presidential Election and its aftermath.
