Netflix today announced a new series premiering July 4th, We The People. Created by Chris Nee and Executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, Kenya Barris, Tonia Davis, and Priya Swaminathan, the series combines music and animation to educate a new generation of young Americans about the power of the people. We the People is a series of 10 animated music videos that covers a range of basic U.S. civics lessons in not-so-basic ways. Set to original songs performed by artists such as H.E.R., Janelle Monáe, Brandi Carlile, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Adam Lambert, Cordae, Bebe Rexha, KYLE, Andra Day, and poet Amanda Gorman, with a groundbreaking mix of animated styles — each episode of We the People is an exuberant call to action for everyone to rethink civics as a living, breathing thing and to reframe their understanding of what government and citizenship mean in a modern world.

The series consists of ten 3-minute episodes that credits Peter Ramsey, Trisha Gum, Victoria Vincent, Benjy Brooke, Mabel Ye, Tim Rauch, Jorge R. Gutierrez, Daron Nefcy, Everett Downing, Kendra Ryan as directors. AFI DOCS will host the world premiere of We the People with a free screening event in the DOCS Talks section of the film festival, Thursday, June 24th at 8:00pm EDT.
