At a time when the Electoral College is making headlines in America’s political discourse, One Person, One Vote? is a nonpartisan and timely film that will inform the raging debate.
The film takes place during the 2020 presidential election – arguably the most wildly historical election of our times – when the Electoral College took center stage like never before. Viewers learn about this often misunderstood institution through the eyes of four presidential electors – a Republican, a Democrat, a Green, and a Kanye West elector – whose motivations range from the noble to the absurd.
The vast majority of Americans do not understand how the Electoral College works or know why we have it in the first place. OPOV? intercuts present-day events with flashbacks of its forgotten history
By the time the credits roll, OPOV? offers viewers a complex understanding of this historic institution highlighting the connective tissue that links then and now, so urgent and timely questions we’re grappling with today are not separate and apart from our past but directly informed by it in the present.
