Equal parts personal and political, REPRESENT follows three women on both sides of the aisle who share the singular goal of improving their community through public service. Myya attempts to spark a youth movement and unseat the incumbent mayor of Detroit – at just 22-years-old; Bryn, a farmer and working mother in rural, small-town Ohio, runs for township trustee as a progressive candidate; and Julie walks a tightrope between her identities as a Korean immigrant and Republican candidate for State Representative in a liberal Chicago suburb. With focuses that range from big-city problems like gentrification to rural community concerns like road placement to across-the-board issues of taxation and gerrymandering, these three women truly represent a cross-section of American politics today. The challenges that they face from both within and without their own parties paint a telling portrait of the entrenchment and hard-nosed partisanship that the country will need to overcome if we are ever to truly come together again.
