Narrated by PETER COYOTE, this film is OSCAR-nominated, EMMY-winning, filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman’s latest documentary.
"RECLAIMING Their VOICE"
follows Native Americans in New Mexico taking a stand against
injustice in the political process. Personal stories demonstrate how
minority communities are using their voting rights as they participate
more fully in elections.
These stories capture a microcosm of growing
awareness and activism which is taking root across the United States.
In addition to documenting the Native American suffrage movement
historically, the film follows a groundbreaking project led by the
Laguna, NM Native community. Their efforts lead to significant
positive changes in New Mexico state election law.
This story serves as a model for how other minority
populations throughout the U.S. can work together to make sure they
can cast their votes and that their votes will be counted.
