Vigilantes: Georgia's Vote Suppression Hitmen [Trailer]
In his upcoming film,
Vigilantes: Georgias Vote Suppression Hitmen, Greg Palast and his investigations team bust the most brazen, racist attack on voting rights yet engineered by Georgias Brian Kemp to ensure victory in his rematch with Stacey Abrams. Youll meet Kemps army of vigilante vote challengers one who dresses up like Old-West vigilante Doc Holliday and is fully armed.
Weird and funny but no joke. Doc Holliday, has challenged the right to vote of 4,000 Georgians of color, targeting Black soldiers. Hes also a Republican Party chairman in Georgia. The secretive vigilante posse has targeted hundreds of thousands of Georgians.
And youll meet Docs voter targets and the heroes of the fight in Georgia for rights we assumed had been won decades ago. Featuring LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter
and a host of Confederate reenactors waiting for next insurrection, the film busts open the secret source of Brian Kemps ancestral wealth and power: slavery.
Kemp has kept his history of privilege and political fixes well hidden including the long history of exploitation by his family aimed at both enchained Blacks and politically helpless poor whites. Its not a story of Democrat versus Republican, but a story of Right versus Wrong, history versus smothered truth.
For release, Fall 2022.
A film from Academy Award winning producer Maria Florio and Executive Producer Martin Sheen.
