How Kamala Harris is boosting enthusiasm among young voters. Revisiting a conversation about California’s newest city. Finally, a new documentary “Loving Lionheart” captures a local family’s medical journey.

Young Voter Enthusiasm in California
Vice President Kamala Harris has attracted a lot of enthusiasm - particularly on social media - after being endorsed to become the Democratic presidential nominee in July. And polling says that there has been a boost for one voting bloc in particular - young voters. California DNC Delegate and Stanford University student Christian Figueroa and Matthew Reagan, Assistant Editor with the CalMatters College Journalism Network join Insight to talk about whether online enthusiasm among this historically lower-participating group could translate to success in November, and what it could mean for races up and down the ballot.

CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.

Best Of: Mountain House
San Joaquin County is now the home to California’s newest city - the first in over a decade. The community of Mountain House officially incorporated at the beginning of July, months after 90% of voters in favor of independent self-governance during the March primary. Insight host Vicki Gonzalez spoke with Steve Pinkerton, General Manager of the Mountain House Community Services District, and MHCSD Vice President and longtime resident Bernice King-Tingle shortly after the March vote about how the incorporation came to be.

New Documentary ‘Loving Lionheart’
A new documentary film about one Sacramento family’s medical journey is premiering this weekend at The Sofia. “Loving Lionheart” chronicles the story of Judah Morgan. He was born with a single-ventricle heart in 2018. The film provides a raw glimpse into the day-to-day challenges faced by his family. It’s written and narrated by his mother Heather Morgan. Autumn Payne is the filmmaker behind “Loving Lionheart” and the founder of Ethical Narrative. She joins Insight to talk about the grassroots film and how it came to be made.
