Sharyl J. Nass and Jerome F. Strauss III, Editors, Committee on New Frontiers in Contraceptive Research US Board on Health Sciences Policy (HSP), Institute of Medicine (IOM), 2004 One Vote: a short film about women and voting
"One Vote" is a 6-minute video about women and voting, directed by two-time Oscar nominees
Deborah Hoffmann and Frances Reid. At a time when women's political muscle is more crucial than ever, "One Vote" aims to free voters from hopelessness, apathy and self-imposed disenfranchisement. Through interviews with women from various walks of life, the video captures the political attitudes, feelings, beliefs and desires of millions of women. The on-screen subjects are articulate and passionate, explaining why they vote, and what makes voting crucial to them and their children's future. The viewer will be able to relate with the on-screen women and make the connection that her voice and vote are essential to the working of this democracy.
As one of the women puts it, "we won the right to vote and now you want to press the mute button."
