“Suppressed is a strong, powerful and moving film that grabs us by the heart. Filled with the human stories of people whose vote has been denied them, the documentary tells a story that demands to be told. Watch it. Share it. Take action." - Michael Douglas
“Suppressed is the most powerful case for voter rights protection since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. If you intend to vote in 2020, you must see Suppressed.” - Martin Sheen
"The film 'Suppressed' vividly examines the many tactics that are being used to diminish voting access for certain voters. 'Suppressed' exposes nothing short of a systematic and pervasive strategy to corrupt democracy in favor of one party! Anyone who believes democracy should work equally for all needs to see 'Suppressed.'" - Shepard Fairey
“If you care about protecting our Democracy, if you care about protecting our right to self-governance, watch Suppressed 2020 and protect our right to vote.” - Rob Reiner

"Black Voters Matter applauds Brave New Films for sharing the story of voter suppression in Georgia. More than ever it's important for citizens to understand how fragile and vulnerable American democracy is in the current political environment. We hope that this film advances the national discourse around voting rights and voting suppression and catalyzes a new commitment to protecting and advancing voting rights in this country." LaTosha Brown, Co-founder of Black Voters Matter |

“How appalling is the notion that this video reflection can be filmed in America in 2019; one and half centuries after the end of the US Civil War, 54 years after Lynden Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, and eleven years after the first Black US President was elected. It is a civic disgrace that the governor's election in the state of Georgia was stolen from Stacy Abrams and from the marginalized citizens who worked so hard and with such determination to elect the first Black female governor in the state of Georgia. I fully support the contents of the video and I am happy to host its screening at FAME Church in the days ahead.” - Rev. J. Edgar Boyd, Senior Minister First AME Church Los Angeles
