As 2025 unfolds, the American democratic ideal continues to face profound stress tests. In Democracy Under Siege, Oscar-nominated director Laura Nix takes a rigorous and timely look at the structural pressures, political dynamics, and institutional fragilities shaping the current moment. The film examines the assumptions underlying democratic stability and asks what happens when long-standing norms are challenged from within. Among those featured is Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes, former editorial cartoonist for The Washington Post, whose recent resignation over the censorship of one of her submissions sparked national debate about press independence, ownership influence, and the boundaries of editorial freedom. With precision and urgency, Nix's film invites audiences to confront difficult questions about public trust, accountability, and the resilience of democratic institutions.  The screening will be followed by a discussion with director Laura Nix and protagonist Ann Telnaes, former editorial cartoonist for The Washington Post. Open to all | Free for students and French in Motion members Please note: registration closes 24 hours before the event.    REGISTER  A bientôt,   French In Motion Washington DC Chapter, Laetitia, Aurélie et Danielle.
