Narrative + emotional

Born from a question — how equal is one person, one vote?

The answer led filmmaker Maximina Juson from tracing the Electoral College’s roots in slavery… to standing at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

History met the present that day — and the camera didn’t look away.

🇵🇷 Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens 🇺🇸 and have been since 1917.

They can serve in the military, pay federal taxes, and carry U.S. passports… but can’t vote for president or have voting members in Congress. 🤔
