Dolton Documentaries

Dolton Documentaries follow local politics in the Village of Dolton, Illinois. The goal of this citizen journalism project is not to attack a particular individual or to make a political statement. Instead, it seeks to illustrate how democracy can falter when civil discourse and transparency are lost. The current situation in Dolton mirrors broader political dysfunction seen in local, state, and federal government across America.

This project was inspired by an article from the Cato Institute (linked below). "The controversy around Dolton’s self‐​styled 'super mayor' Tiffany Henyard offers lessons about local government accountability that resonate nationwide." This docuseries is not affiliated with any Dolton politician or political group.
