Stacey Abrams and filmmakers Liz Garbus and Lisa Cortes on their new documentary "All In: The Fight for Democracy"

Stacey Abrams is president of Fair Fight Action and was House Minority Leader in the Georgia legislature from 2011 to 2017. In 2018, she ran for governor of Georgia, losing a closely contested race to Republican Brian Kemp and alleging afterward that Kemp, who oversaw the election from his post as Georgia's top elections official, had suppressed the vote to win.

Abrams has worked on voting rights issues for many years now, and was considered as a potential running mate by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

"All In: The Fight for Democracy" is a documentary about the history of voting in America and about Abrams 2018 candidacy for governor. The film was co-produced and co-directed by Liz Garbus and Lisa Cortes. Cortes comes from the world of music and film production, and Garbus has directed such well-known films as Ghosts of Abu Ghraib; Bobby Fischer Against the World; What Happened, Miss Simone?; and recently she made her debut in directing a feature film, with Lost Girls.

The movie premieres in select theaters on September 9, and will stream on Amazon Prime starting September 18. You can watch this conversation by clicking here.
