It makes me angry that while politicians play around and gerrymander, our democracy is dying. ALL FOR POWER.

I liked it for a bit until it became soo blatantly biased... would have been much better if diversified in their representation.. gerrymandering their beliefs as truth..

I like that it covers the topic of gerrymandering and draws connections to how gerrymandering leads to the implementation of unpopular policies like right-to-work laws. At the same time, I think it would have benefitted from covering the success of nonpartisan commissions in places like California. I also would have liked to see them take on gerrymandering done in blue states like New York. Look at a congressional district map in NYC and you will see what I am talking about.

Fantastic film. Educational. Inspirational. Get some friends together to watch this and learn how about gerrymandering and how it can be stopped. Nice work to the filmmakers and all involved with the project.

Cerebral, far-reaching, and effective, 'Slay the Dragon" should be required in every house and school. The filmmakers take a nuanced and down the middle approach which does wonders in telling the story they want to tell. The issue at hand, gerrymandering, isn't an exciting one, but if you care about the country then you need to watch this. It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on! If you don't want to invest the under two hours in how your democracy is being ripped apart at the highest levels then you deserve what you get. Final Score: 8.9/10

A must see documentary and very watchable.

This is an in depth and balanced examination of how Michigan and Wisconsin both became States where it is nearly impossible for Democrats to win, thanks to Republicn cheating, ie gerrymandering. In the film, several of the Republicans who Were the architects of this fiendish scheme actually bragged about how clever they are for pulling it off. They don't even try to hide what their goal was.

This documentary is an eye opener on gerrymandering, particularly the Republican concerted effort in 2010 that resulted in highly skewed, un democratic, voting districts that essentially disenfranchised mostly minority populations that tend to vote Democratic. The film details the coordinated gerrymandering effort and its deleterious effect on fair election results. It enraged me to see this major voter disenfranchisement and inspires me to do more to take back our system of democracy and to enact fair maps.

Inspirational story of what ordinary citizens can do to protect our democracy -- and a somber reminder of what happens if we do nothing.

A decent overview of the issue. Some might call it biased, but Gerrymandering is an inherently partisan issue. I'd hope most people would at least agree that it's an issue everyone should take seriously.

It feels more like a propaganda piece than a balance documentary. They use a lot of obscure anecdotes to prove their point. The concept of gerrymandering needs to be abolished so states like California does remain a one party state for perpetuity.

This film made me laugh, cry, be enraged, hopefully, and most importantly want to get up and do something. If you're on the fence about watching, I'd say do it, I bet you won't regret it. With the next round of redistricting about to happen it seems especially timely as well.

It's an interesting and worthy topic but it unfortunately suffers from political bias. While I think the documentary it's self is ok, the time it was released was not ideal. All thats going to happen is the progressive critics and audience menbers will give it 5 stars and call it a master peice and the conservative critics (if there are any) and audience member will give it one star and call it fake news. It would have benifitted from a more balenced point of view which would also better represent Katie Fahey better as she (from what I've read, heard, and seen) lead the campaign without trying to promote any political views but rather as something that poeple could collectively agree on.

Outstanding documentary, a must see. Ignore the crybabies that don't want you to see the glaring truth about the reality of gerrymandering. They want to continue to manipulate the system to their advantage. It's not surprising that they don't like a film that tells the truth.

Ridiculously biased. Just like the critics all seem to be.

One of the best films of the year.

Fantastic film and an excellent visual extension of Daley's book on gerrymandering. Daley's book helps set up the deep dive into the Redistricting Majority Project, while this covers its implications and what became of it. Overall good storytelling and editing by the creators of this film. I feel like this could have been a several episode series, each one focusing on one of the overly gerrymandered states because it felt really short. I do hope the folks behind this team up with series producer to show us where we are at in 2021 and 2022 when the maps are redrawn. Elected officials should have little say on how their district looks and should let the marketplace of ideas decide their political fate rather than trying to weasel their way out via redistricting.

I am so proud of Michigan! This is such a timely, important film. Well made and informative! I just wish I could buy it rather than just rent it.

A fascinating look into the Republican Party's successful efforts to secure victories in state legislatures across the country leading up to the 2010 redistricting cycle. Inspiring stories about the citizens who are working to make sure that voters can choose their politicians – not the other way around!
