Description

This film documents visitors at suffragists' gravesites to mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment on Election Day 2020. A new documentary spearheaded by Rochester-based filmmaker Linda Moroney of Low to the Ground Productions, Women & The Vote visits the gravesites of several suffragists at five cemeteries across New York State on Election Day 2020. Interviews and verité footage of visitors at cemeteries in the Bronx, Sleepy Hollow, Auburn, Rochester, and Buffalo intertwine with rich historical elements to generate connections between New York's rich suffragist legacy and contemporary voters. Women and the Vote is a mosaic-style documentary on the past 100 years of women's political equality, the present moment, and most importantly the possibilities for the future.
