The Election Effect
A film by Kristi Jacobson (2017)
#TheElectionEffect, a five-part documentary series that showcases life for the next generation of voters. The series looks at seven students from an array of backgrounds and political beliefs across the nation -- and documents the effect of political rhetoric on each of them.
I was thrilled to participate in this series that looks to youth as leaders of today. Check out the Webby Award nominated episode I directed, "Hebh", which is about a young Muslim girl in NYC realizing the power of her voice during a time when anti-Muslim hostility is at an all-time high.
Produced by Oscar Award-winning production house Shine Global and Paramount Network, #TheElectionEffect was nominated for Best Documentary Series 2018 Award by the International Academy of Web Television.
