Over 50 years ago, New York State assemblyman George Michaels cast a single vote that changed the course of American history but destroyed his political career in the process. For the first time, Deciding Vote shares the story of how Michaels defied his conservative constituents by casting the critical tie-breaking vote on a bill which legalized abortion in the state of New York, laying the groundwork for Roe v Wade. The film is a moving tribute to a now-forgotten act of political courage. Film run time 20 min.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker and Rep. Eleni Kavros DeGraw, Candidate for State Senate Paul Honig, moderated by author Carrie Lenarcic Firestone.
