This free screening of "Capturing the Flag," presented by FilmNorth and FairVote Minnesota, is an urgent cautionary tale that indicates what's in store for the fast-approaching elections of 2019 and 2020. Through the intimate experiences of the film's citizen volunteers, we are asked to vote, to help someone else vote, and to get involved in growing non-partisan efforts to protect our fragile democracy.

The shocking voter suppression we see unfold in this movie is proliferating across the country, as those who control local elections are emboldened to rewrite access to the ballot box along partisan lines. With footage of Barack Obama and Rev. William Barber II, the film is a powerful call to arms for what we all can do -- and need to do -- in the ongoing battle for voting rights.
