Gerrymandering premiered in DC raising eyebrows:

· Georgetown Dish : At the screening, Governor Schwarzenegger said: “With Prop 11 and, Prop 14 passed, we’ll now get politicians moving back to the center. Now we will be beholden to the people, not the politicians.”

· NBC Washington (Video): “Ex-Rep. Martin Frost: I was a victim of redistricting”

· Politico: “This film came out now so that citizens can more closely police what legislators are doing”

· Washington Examiner: “a documentary that explains the complexities of gerrymandering using cartoons and real-life examples reminiscent of “School House Rock.”
