"Suppressed" features experts\, poll watcher s and everyday Georgians speaking to the reality of voter suppression and the threat it poses in 2020. In a race that was ultimately decided by 54\, 723 votes\, the film exposes that the basic constitutional right to vote c ontinues to be under siege in America.\n\nOther films by Robert Greenwald (the founder of Brave New Films) include "Outfoxed\," "Walmart: The High C ost of Low Price\," and "Making A Killing: Guns\, Greed\, &\; the NRA."
