When has an individual convicted of a felony fully repaid their debt to society? When should they be welcomed back into the fabric of civic life as a contributing and engaged citizen? And what can society gain if, instead of pushing people away from the democratic process, the United States made the voting experience more inclusive? These are the fundamental questions behind the documentary film, Out to Vote, by Samuel George. Set in Baltimore in the runup to the 2020 US Presidential Election, the documentary follows formerly incarcerated individuals who have become leaders for democracy and voting advocacy in their community. Nicole Hanson-Mundell and Bobby Perkins of Out for Justice, and Monica Cooper of the Maryland Justice Project are featured as they engage marginalized citizens who have been led to believe either that their vote does not matter, or that they would not be welcome at the polls. In an era of political disengagement and an entrenched malaise of partisan nihilism, the film shows these community leaders working tirelessly to retether Americans to their democracy. The film also demonstrates the power that access to democracy itself can have on individuals. Mr. Perkins, for example, was incarcerated for 37 years, and has spent the majority of his life behind bars. In Out to Vote, viewers follow Bobby as he walks some of Baltimore?s toughest streets, engaging anyone and everyone he passes, an activity that appears to have given a newfound meaning to his life.
