About this movie

After the 2008 election, a secretive, well-funded partisan initiative poured money into state legislative races in key swing states to gain control of their redistricting processes and used high-tech analytics to dramatically skew voting maps based on demographic data. The result is one of the greatest electoral manipulations in U.S. history, one that poses a fundamental threat to our democracy and exacerbates the already polarized atmosphere in Congress and state houses across the country. The new documentary Slay the Dragon shines a light on this timely issue, and follows a handful of citizens' groups, outraged by what they see as an attack on the core democratic principle that every person's vote should count equally, as they battle party operatives and an entrenched political establishment to fix a broken system.

Ratings and reviews

A passionate documentary. It's a shame that it's based on a misunderstanding of American history, constitution and governance. The USA is a Democratic REPUBLIC not a Republic DEMOCRACY. The USA is based on some democratic principles, but it is not a democracy (aka - mob rule by the simple majority).

Most inspiring movie I've watched in a really really long time. No matter what "party" you align with, Gerrymandering is a dangerous tool. I beg everyone to watch this movie with an open mind away from party alliances & view this as, if one party can do this, so can the other. It is VERY dangerous. Votes are the power of the people & need to stay "with the people" NOT unacceptable DC.

Trash, this film inspires our enemies and trashes our flag. It's just a bunch of commy dems creating conspiracy theories. Embarrassing.
