Capturing the Flag: Documentary Screening

BCRW is committed to vibrant and engaged research, pedagogy, art, and activism, supporting the work of scholars and activists to create new knowledge and to challenge and refine how we understand the world around us.

Barnard Center for Research on Women

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.
Following the screening, filmmaker Anne de Mare and Flora Davidson, Barnard College Professor of Political Science and Urban Studies, will engage in a lively discussion with the audience. 
Details and Accessibility: This event is free and open to the public. RSVP is preferred but not required. The venue is accessible to people with mobility disabilities. Please contact BCRW for additional accessibility needs.
