Represent

In the heart of the American Midwest, three women take on entrenched political systems in their fight to reshape local politics on their own terms.

Represent is equal parts personal and political, journeying through life on and off the campaign trail to tell the stories of female candidates from vastly different communities, support systems, and political parties. The politics may be local, but for these women, the stakes are high.
