Slay the Dragon

This is the best primer on political gerrymandering imaginable and should be mandatory viewing in grad school public policy symposiums and high school civics classes alike.

Gerrymandering is purposely confusing. Even its name is wonky. But the compelling, impassioned documentary "Slay the Dragon" does an effective job of explaining it...

While it doesn't exactly bring new information to the table, the movie provides a welcome breakdown of the dramatic impact that gerrymandering has across American society whenever election season comes around.

Slay the Dragon isn't a glorified PowerPoint presentation about the history of voting. It's an unabashed activist documentary aimed at convincing viewers they can fight gerrymandering in their home states.

It's a terrific film. I was a little wary that it going to be really wonky, which it sort of is, but it is also extremely well-edited... and it's even-handed.

This film is absolutely infuriating and it is must-see viewing.

Slay the Dragon is a searing look at redrawing voting lines by erasing the ethical ones.

If you've ever felt mistreated by the system and wanted to do something about it but not known where to start, this is an excellent primer.

Slay the Dragon shines the light on something that, while not as sexy and well-known as candidate campaigns, is just as important in our democracy as anything else.

A dry, earnest liberal documentary about the evils of gerrymandering
