This is America

Institute History

  • 2012 Sundance Documentary Film Grant

Description

This is America tackles the corporate takeover of the American Electoral system and the growing disenfranchisement – and disenchantment – of the American voter. By documenting the upcoming $3 billion dollar election and the third party groups from across the political spectrum fighting to have their voices heard, we expose the fictions underpinning our system of "free and fair" elections and the high cost of our continued apathy.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications.

For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
