The Smallest Unit of Democracy Is a Voice: Moment Films at the No Kings Protests

Bellingham, WA — Most people think movements are built on numbers. Crowd size. Turnout. Scale. But that’s not what Moment Films found on March 28th at the “No Kings” protest in Bellingham, WA. What they found instead were voices that were not necessarily unified, but passionate. It was clear to everyone who attended that change across government needed to happen.

“We share the frustrations of many of the people at the protests,” says director Chris Donaldson. “And we went down there both to support the effort and better understand some of the perspectives. Not the headline versions necessarily, but the real voices that are driving the movement.”

In this time of division, there is some question as to whether protests like this are effective, or if they instead further drive a wedge between the political parties. One thing can be agreed to however: the use of brute force and the killing of citizens can not be something that continues. No matter your persuasion, we have to protect the precious rights that have taken over 200 years to build.

The people have a voice. In this film, you will hear a few. If you disagree with the assessment, let’s have a conversation around that too. Because at Moment Films, we still strongly believe in ‘E Pluribus Unum’.

Out of many, one.

The strength of democracy rests with the people willing to speak.
