One of the films that will be shown is “THE BLACK BELT” Directed byMargaret Brown. In 2015, the state of Alabama closed 31 DMVs across the state. Many of these closures occurred in the Black Belt, a predominantly African-American region, directly impacting voter enfranchisement in a state that requires photo IDs at the polls. Here are a few snapshots from the film.

One of the films that will be shown is “Crooked Lines!” An amazing short documentary about the impact of redrawing voting maps and how it can adversely affect communities of color. In today’s society, this is a powerful reminder about the importance of protecting a citizen’s vote, and a community’s voting power.
