Out to Vote – After winning a fight to restore voting rights for formerly incarcerated individuals, returning citizens Bobby Perkins, Nicole Hanson-Mundell and Monica Cooper go all-in to get out the vote in Baltimore, Maryland. Their efforts in the run-up to the 2020 election, in the face of misinformation, polarization, and a global pandemic, are filmed in this Bertelsmann Foundation documentary. It is a story of redemption, and a story of democracy.
