Small-town activism. Nail-biting elections. A last-minute power grab. In Wisconsin, where extreme partisanship has become the norm, voters are finding their lives increasingly irrelevant to state lawmakers. Through the stories of a working-class, single mother of five, a laid-off environmental educator, a retired public school teacher and a tireless voting rights activist, CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? unravels the ways that years of one-party rule have reshaped democracy in a state long known for its progressive history.

In 2017, Jim directed, photographed and edited the award-winning short documentary LOS LECHEROS that looked at the dairy industry's reliance on undocumented labor. He has edited documentaries (BEDLAM [PBS],&nbsp;ONE BIG HOME), feature films (I DO AND I DON'T, GASOLINE RAINBOWS), the Emmy-winning Vice on HBO, and short films for The Criterion Collection and The New York Times.
