RATIFIED! (Sabaah Folayan and Deborah R Draper, 2025).
Legal equality for all genders has still not been officially added to the Constitution. Ratified chronicles the campaign to make Virginia the 38th state to ratify the amendment, which is the number of states required to have an amendment added to the Constitution after Congressional approval. The film follows organizing efforts as a cross-party coalition confronts entrenched political power.
