Bullfrog Communities, a project of Bullfrog Films, is pleased to announce two incredibly timely and major award-winning new releases for community and campus-wide screenings: CAPTURING THE FLAG and THIS IS HOME.

VOTER SUPPRESSION
With the US midterm elections on the horizon, CAPTURING THE FLAG is essential viewing. According to a NPR report, turnout for the election could hit a 50-year high. Disenfranchisement is a major threat.  CAPTURING THE FLAG tells the current voter-suppression story in vivid detail.

REFUGEES
Winner of this year's Sundance Film Festival Audience Award: World Cinema Documentary and National Media Market 2018 Best in Show Finalist, THIS IS HOME is a stirring account of the global refugee crisis through the eyes of Syrian refugee families attempting to resettle in Baltimore.

CAPTURING THE FLAG

“The stories of these voters remind us that the heart of this fight is our shared human stake in our democracy — and CAPTURING THE FLAG serves both as a warning and a call to action to activists across the country who are ready to fiercely defend it.” Natasha Piñon, Ms. Magazine
