ORIGINAL AIR DATE 05/06/2021 - Christian Zyp interviewed director Gavin Guerra about his film 'Let the People Decide' for NorthWest Fest 2021.
LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE traces the history of voting rights struggles in the United States from 1960 through the present day. The film draws parallels between the Mississippi voter registration drive of the early 1960's and North Carolina's 'Moral Monday' movement in the present day. A key goal of the film is connecting the dots between the generations to contextualize the current political environment surrounding race and voting.
