Director Statement

This is a film about people my age, about millennials, who feel they have the privilege to sit out our democratic process. It’s easy to think your vote doesn’t matter- until the consequences land on your doorstep.

I hope viewers will see themselves in these characters and feel motivated to participate, get involved, and get invested in the fate of this young, vulnerable country. Millennials have the power to shape the future they want. The only question is, will they?
