Once a year, 30,000 quilters descend upon Paducah, Kentucky for its annual quilt competition-- doubling the town's population. "Quilt Week" or “the Academy Awards of quilting” is a huge, adorable spectacle featuring quilt celebrities (including the Quilt Queen herself), a nonstop local TV channel (aptly named The Quilt Channel) and other women passionate about their craft. The film weaves through quilter stories, backboned by the exciting competition. Even though almost everyone has a smile on their face, the film pays tribute to deeper, more serious motivators that make people quilt.

This film traces the history of the struggle over voting rights from 1960 through the present day. Over those nearly 60 years this film connects the dots in a way meant to show that the conflicts over voting that are raging now did not burst forth from a vacuum, but are a part of a perpetual struggle centered around race, power and politics.
