ABOUT SURGE: SURGE is a feature documentary directed and produced by Hannah Rosenzweig and Wendy Sachs that follows three congressional candidates in Texas, Indiana and Illinois who were each looking to flip their deep red districts to blue, including Lauren Underwood, the youngest Black woman to ever be elected to Congress. The film asks the question, is this a moment or a movement?
