This week on THE JANUS ADAMS SHOW: Voter suppression. What it is. How it's done. It's repercussions. What people are doing to fight it. Our guests: Laverne Berry, activist attorney; Anne De Mare, director; co-producers of one of the year’s most important film documentaries, "Capturing the Flag" -- how the big idea of American democracy can be defended by small acts of individual citizens.

“This film is called Capturing the Flag—literally. That’s what you have here. You do not have people winning. You have people cheating; which also is a sign of our power if we can organize. Because people do not cheat you if they can beat you in a straight up fight.”

~ Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II
