Persuasion Movie Night: Swing State

Persuasionis the magazine and community for those who believe that a free society is worth fighting for.

Persuasion

Persuasion will host a small-group discussion with documentary director Nat Frum on his most recent film, Swing State, on the 2020 election.

In the fall of 2020, filmmaker Nat Frum and his team travelled to North Carolina in the final stages of the national election season. While much of the nation's attention was caught in the presidential race, in Swing State Frum focuses on more local candidates, following several seeking to enter public office in a uniquely divisive political moment. What emerges is a portrait of the national debate refracted through a local lens, shining a spotlight on issues of race and class, gerrymandering and hyperpartisanship. Persuasion members and guests are invited to join us for a moderated discussion with Frum on July7th about filmmaking in the election, and will have exclusive access to the film via link below (to be watched at your convenience before the discussion). We hope you join us! Director's Blurb for the Film:"The state of North Carolina is emblematic of the political divides of the rest of the country. The state didn’t flip in the last election and in many ways, neither did the country. Everyone is still dug in along their political lines, regardless of the impact policies have on their own lives – mostly to the benefit of those in power. The film focuses on the staunch partisanship that makes the democratic process messy through gerrymandering, voter and candidate intimidation, and the exacerbation of racial and class tensions."How to watch: https://vimeo.com/607652434 Password is SWINGSTATE2021*Any views expressed in the film are those of their proponent, not those of Persuasion.
