'An exemplary civics lesson.' Read THR's review for 'All In: The Fight for Democracy:'
opens Sept. 9 in select cinemas nationwide. It starts streaming a week later on Sept. 18 on Amazon Prime.
The timing of its release matters not just because of the film’s potential capacity to help persuade people to register and prepare to vote. By choosing to complete and release it now in September, having presumably locked the cut some weeks back, the filmmakers have willing sacrificed closure that might have made for a more complete story in journalistic terms. Above all, at this point, no one knows either how the election will turn out nor howwill turn out for the election.
Georgia, with its long and ugly history of voter suppression, looms large in the film, from Snipes’ story right on up to the last gubernatorial election there in 2018 where Abrams, a lifelong advocate for voting rights, was defeated by Brian Kemp, then the state’s secretary of state. The film methodically lays out all the evidence and allegations of suppression that cast doubt on the final result, decided supposedly by only 17,000 votes.
