Prime Video will stream the Amazon Original movie "All In: The Fight for Democracy", in support of National Voter Registration Day tomorrow (September 22), and it will be available to all audiences, with or without a Prime membership.
The documentary will be in front of the Prime Video paywall for 24-hours, in an effort to drive the urgency and importance of voter registration. The film will also be available on Twitch, YouTube and Twitter, making the film widely available and accessible to meet customers where they are across multiple platforms.
In anticipation of the 2020 presidential election, "All In: The Fight for Democracy" examines the often overlooked, yet insidious issue of voter suppression in the United States. The film interweaves personal experiences with current activism and historical insight to expose a problem that has corrupted our democracy from the very beginning. With the perspective and expertise of Stacey Abrams, the former Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, the documentary offers an insider's look into laws and barriers to voting that most people don't even know are threats to their basic rights as citizens of the United States.
"Voting is fundamental for our country and democracy, and should be accessible and available to Americans everywhere. Today All In: The Fight for Democracy will be accessible on multiple platforms in support of voter awareness and registration for all Americans," said Abrams.
Also, on September 22, Twitter and Twitch will host watch parties where the film will be streaming on these platforms at no cost. The Twitter watch party will be hosted by Stacey Abrams and Lin-Manuel Miranda starting at 4:00pm PT at https://twitter.com/i/events/1305586144692727809, and the Twitch livestream will be hosted by social influencer Neeko on http://www.twitch.tv/neeko at 11:00am PT. All In: The Fight for Democracy will stream at no cost for 24-hours on Prime Video at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FRSNBLL, and at https://youtu.be/6h1-Ctbi8SM on YouTube.
