The Choice: Documentary Screening and Post-Show Discussion
The Choice follows the recent 2024 city council election in Portland, Oregon. Facing a public housing crisis, civic unrest, and the fallout of drug decriminalization, the city overhauled its government, expanded leadership through proportional representation, and introduced ranked-choice voting (RCV)—a bold but controversial electoral system. Through exclusive access to the candidates, real-time election coverage, and Portlanders navigating a new system, The Choice captures a defining moment in the city’s history, where democracy is reimagined, and the future of public safety, governance, and leadership hangs in the balance.
Join Town Hall Seattle and the Kaphan Foundation for a screening of The Choice followed by a conversation with David Daley, a nationally recognized journalist whose writing on democracy and voting rights appears regularly in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Slate, alongside Senior Researcher with the Sightline Institute’s Democracy program, Shannon Grimes, and the two candidates featured in the film, District 1 Councilor Candace Avalos and Police Officer Eli Arnold.
