    After the former president and his followers falsely claimed the 2020 election was "rigged," officials have become targets of abuse and death threats. In a short documentary following the work of Arizona's Chairman, Bill Gates, and his colleague's effort to uphold the integrity of the vote in Arizona, we witness them working against a wave of election denialism. A Q&A with Supervisor Bill Gates, The New Yorker writer Rachel Munro, and director and producer Paul Moakley, moderated by “Arizona Horizon” host Ted Simons, will follow the screening. 🗓️ Wednesday, September 18th ⏰ 6:30pm 📍Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications Register here ➡️ na.eventscloud.com/denial
