    Wow. Real eye opener!

    I'd pay more attention to these political documentaries if they weren't so heavily weighted to a single side of the voting spectrum.

    It makes me angry that while politicians play around and gerrymander, our democracy is dying. ALL FOR POWER.

    I liked it for a bit until it became soo blatantly biased... would have been much better if diversified in their representation.. gerrymandering their beliefs as truth..

    I like that it covers the topic of gerrymandering and draws connections to how gerrymandering leads to the implementation of unpopular policies like right-to-work laws. At the same time, I think it would have benefitted from covering the success of nonpartisan commissions in places like California. I also would have liked to see them take on gerrymandering done in blue states like New York. Look at a congressional district map in NYC and you will see what I am talking about.

    Fantastic film. Educational. Inspirational. Get some friends together to watch this and learn how about gerrymandering and how it can be stopped. Nice work to the filmmakers and all involved with the project.

    Cerebral, far-reaching, and effective, 'Slay the Dragon" should be required in every house and school. The filmmakers take a nuanced and down the middle approach which does wonders in telling the story they want to tell. The issue at hand, gerrymandering, isn't an exciting one, but if you care about the country then you need to watch this. It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on! If you don't want to invest the under two hours in how your democracy is being ripped apart at the highest levels then you deserve what you get. Final Score: 8.9/10

    This is an in depth and balanced examination of how Michigan and Wisconsin both became States where it is nearly impossible for Democrats to win, thanks to Republicn cheating, ie gerrymandering. In the film, several of the Republicans who Were the architects of this fiendish scheme actually bragged about how clever they are for pulling it off. They don't even try to hide what their goal was.

    This documentary is an eye opener on gerrymandering, particularly the Republican concerted effort in 2010 that resulted in highly skewed, un democratic, voting districts that essentially disenfranchised mostly minority populations that tend to vote Democratic. The film details the coordinated gerrymandering effort and its deleterious effect on fair election results. It enraged me to see this major voter disenfranchisement and inspires me to do more to take back our system of democracy and to enact fair maps.
