Summary

Rigged chronicles how our most important right, the right to vote, is being undercut by a decade of dirty tricks--including the partisan use of gerrymandering and voter purges, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court. The film captures the 2016 elections as we witness real-time voter purges in North Carolina, voter intimidation in Texas, and a battle over new voter ID laws in Missouri. Narrated by Jeffrey Wright and featuring interviews with politicians and activists on both sides of the aisle, Rigged tells the vital story of how our democracy is being threatened, and the American citizens who are fighting back.
