Stacey Abrams
And She Could Be Next (2020)
Miniseries
POV’s first broadcast miniseries asks whether democracy itself can be preserved - and made stronger - by those most marginalized. Filmed during the historic 2018 midterm elections, the series follows the campaigns of Stacey Abrams (GA), Rashida Tlaib (MI), Lucy McBath (GA), Veronica Escobar (TX), Maria Elena Durazo (CA), and Bushra Amiwala (IL) - all women of color. The women of color organizing the campaigns are also highlighted.

S1E1 - Building a Movement
In the 2018 midterm elections, a new generation of women of color are ready to take the lead. As candidates and organizers embark on the campaign trail, we go behind-the-scenes at local rallies, in war rooms, and in church basements to witness the unique challenges they face. These women are each a product of a larger movement–one that is coalition-based, intergenerational, and interfaith.

S1E2 - Claiming Power
In the weeks leading up to election day, organizers combat voter suppression in their own communities. A growing multi-ethnic coalition in Georgia, including groups like the New Georgia Project, Mijente, and Asians for Abrams, addresses language barriers, poll purges and “exact match” laws that impact thousands of voters across the state. As results roll in, there are celebrations and disappointments, and then the work continues.
