Slay the Dragon

A chilling and invigorating look at one of the most crucial issues facing our democracy today, Slay the Dragon screens online at Magnolia Pictures’ virtual screening room. Grab your ticket now—a portion of admission supports the Wex.

The new documentary examines the consequences of gerrymandering—the practice of redrawing voting district lines to ensure the dominance of one political party in future elections.

While it might sound like the driest of subjects, this vital film makes direct connections between the practice and the Flint water crisis, gender-binary bathroom bills, systemic racism, and voter ID laws. You’ll also see how individual citizens and groups like Voters Not Politicians, with no power beyond what the constitution grants them, can become a galvanizing force in determining our country’s political future. (101 mins., DCP)

"The most important political film of the year, and it may prove to be one of the key political films of the decade."
