“The film addresses one of the most impactful issues of our time. I am certain it will help mobilize advocacy for the restoration of the Voting Rights Act, and inspire political engagement to combat the rising tide of disenfranchisement…The purposeful dialog following each screening and audience interest in scheduling future viewings are clear indications the film’s message will reach our communities and keep them civically engaged.”

Marcia Fudge

Congresswoman (D-OH)

“America is strongest when every citizen can vote. Yet, Rigged exposes the dark truths of how some politicians are seeking the removal of the right to vote from too many Americans. Rigged’s take-home is that we, as Americans, must work harder to protect and augment the central tenet of our democracy: ‘one person, one vote’.”

Valerie Jarrett

Former Sr. Advisor to President Obama

“Rigged challenges us to think about what Americans can and should do to rebuild our democracy so it once again adheres to the central tenet of ‘one person, one vote.’”

Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Alphonse Fletcher, Jr. University Professor

Director, Hutchins Center for African & African American Research
