    Special Screening of Capturing the Flag

    4:00pm to 5:30pm

    Location: 

    Harvard Kennedy School, Littauer 140, 79 JFK Street, Cambridge, MA

    Join us and Harvard's Institute of Politics for a screening of special screening of Capturing the Flag, an unexpected story about American Democracy. In the film, a tight-knit group of friends travel to Cumberland County, North Carolina - 2016 “posterchild” for voter suppression - intent on proving that the big idea of American democracy can be defended by small acts of individual citizens.

    Join us after the screening at 6:00 PM in JFK Jr. Forum for an event, "Suppressing the Vote: What it Looks Like, What Led Us Here, & What We Can Do to Fix It."
