Three featurettes for Amazon Prime Video to promote their feature length documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy. Each featurette provides a brief insight into the power of voting and how people throughout history have fought and campaigned for the right to vote.

“So why is voting important?”

"Why do people protest for it?"

"go to jail for it"

"even die for it"

"For centuries, the right to vote in America has been under attack"

"African American men were given the right to vote for the first time"

"...sixteen African Americans were elected to serve in congress"

"The voting rights act made it illegal for states to deny the vote on the basis of race"

"...a record number of women were elcted to The House Of Representatives"

"But many Americans..."

"...are still ineligible to vote"

"...including people formerly convicted of federal crimes"

"The right to challenge the status quo was essential to democracy"

"Benjamin Franklin wrote a series of satirical articles under the pen name Silence Dogood"

"The democratisation of creative tools..."

"...means more people than ever before are using art to express themselves"

"As when Maceo Snipes became the only African American to vote..."

"...in the state of Georgia in 1946..."

"...and paid for the privilege with his life"
