A secretive, high-tech gerrymandering initiative launched 10 years ago threatens to undermine our democracy. Gerrymandering influences elections and sways outcomes. It has become a hot-button political topic and symbol for everything broken about the American electoral process. But there are those on the front lines fighting to change the system. “Slay the Dragon” follows everyday people as they fight to make their votes matter.
