If ever there was an advertisement for the irrelevance of authorial intent, it's Showtime's five-part documentary series The Lincoln Project, whose final episode airs Friday night (though you can already stream it). Co-directed by Hollywood lefties Fisher Stevens and Karim Amer, the series, an inside look at the controversy-marred, anti-Trump SuperPAC immediately before and after the 2020 election, is supposed to get you pumped about voting against MAGA Republicans next Tuesday.
"We think that they definitely were effective and they got people out to vote," Stevens recently told Yahoo Entertainment. "And that's the goal [of the series], to get people out to vote in the midterms."
