FINAL VOTING CONTINUES FOR BEST POLITICAL FILMS OF 2019
Among twenty-two films nominated by the Political Film Society for 2019 in each of four categories, the list has been narrowed to a final ballot. In the preliminary voting in January, there was a stark contrast between selections: Some favored by one or more voters were rejected by the same number and thus taken off the ballot. What remains are the films indicated below:
