    "Most high school students can't vote this year, but they need to know what's going on just as much as everyone else," says filmmaker Jason Pollock, who is one of the project's four producers.

    He, Scooter Braun, Adam McKay and Sharon Chan will launch the "Undroppable Election Tour" in Los Angeles. Pollock's visits will be 60 minutes and consist of a speech, videos and panels with area leaders.
