Q&A: Maximina Juson Talks 'One Person, One Vote (Video Interview)

One Person, One Vote? examines the Electoral College, the uniquely American and often misunderstood mechanism for electing a president. At a time when many Americans question democratic institutions, the film provides an unprecedented look at its inner workings.

One Person, One Vote? offers a nonpartisan understanding of the institution, revealing its origins in a bygone era and its centrality to questions of the modern day. An array of voices throughout the film representing all sides of current electoral college events is intercut with commentary from dynamic subject matter experts including Lead Historian Dr. Paul Finkelman, Columbia School of Journalism Dean Jelani Cobb, and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Carol Anderson, who place the Electoral College in its historical context.

AllYourScreens founder Rick Ellis recently spoke with filmmaker and cinematographer Maximina Juson, who discussed the challenges of filming a documentary about the Electoral College during the contentious 2020 election, as well as what she hopes viewers take away from watching the film.
