Jennifer Lawrence’s latest film isn’t about Russian spies, like “Red Sparrow,” or the self-made millionaire of “Joy” — it tackles real-life corruption instead.

The actress stars in a short film called “Unbreaking America” for RepresentUs, an anti-corruption group for which she is a board member.

“We are witnessing a total political system failure in America,” Lawrence says in the 12-minute film, debuting Wednesday.

“If you’re anything like me, you may find yourself constantly overwhelmed by everything that’s wrong with politics,” she tells viewers. “And when I say politics, I’m not talking about Democrats or Republicans, I’m talking about the flaws that exist in our political system, regardless of which party is in power.”

Citing a 2018 Gallup poll that found just 4 percent of respondents had a great deal of confidence in Congress, Lawrence says she’s “obsessed” with the idea of “unrigging” and “actually fixing” the political system.

The 28-year-old Academy Award winner suggests a series of steps to “fix our broken elections,” including ending gerrymandering with independent redistricting commissions, creating ranked choice voting, implementing automatic voter registration and giving every voter a “$50 or $100 tax voucher so politicians spend time fundraising from their constituents,” among other moves.

The goal with the video and campaign, organizers say, is to engage 11 million Americans, or 3.5 percent of the population. RepresentUs says research shows that after reaching the 3.5 percent mark of sustained activism “there’s a tipping point and change spreads rapidly.”

“I know it’s hard to talk about politics these days,” Lawrence says in the film, which her organization plans to screen at events across the country. “But look, the government is ours. We pay for it, so it needs to work for us, and right now it doesn’t.”
