Lowndes County presented us with the unique opportunity to shed light on a lesser-known piece of the civil rights movement and is exactly the type of meaningful storytelling we strive to amplify at Peacock,&#8221; said Rachel Smith, EVP Development at NBCUniversal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The restoration and preservation of narrative is an important part of Participant&#8217;s work, and we are excited to collaborate with Peacock to share the story of Lowndes County with viewers,&#8221; said David Linde, CEO of Participant. &#8220;Geeta and Sam&#8217;s film vividly highlights the important contemporary truth that long after the Voting Rights Act was passed &#8211; and indeed still today &#8211; communities had to continue to fight to see those rights recognized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>LOWNDES COUNTY was inspired by Vann R. Newkirk II&#8217;s research and writing, as published in The Atlantic.
