This flick will educate you on the inevitable outcry following the 2004
election (no matter who wins).
This film examines the botched 2000 elections in as an objective manner
that I've seen, doing so in a non-ranting, tell-me-the-facts manner.
It clearly documents that the election was not over "hanging chads" and
delves into its seemier aspects. It cites Jeb Bush and Katherine
Harris for their various acts of malfeasance, knocks Gore for things
like only seeking recounts in 4 democratic-leaning counties, and even
points out the blatant conflicts of interest of Supreme Court justices
with interviews with the individuals in question. Greg Palast of the
BBC explains his investigative reports (something very few Americans
are aware of) very well. While the film is from 2002, it is not dated
and it also includes a bit on potential problems of electronic voting.
As a former high school civics teacher the 2000 election particularly
disgusted me, not only because of the inevitable warping process that
the undemocratic electoral college inflicts on our presidential
elections, but because I saw it as a clear indication that the concept
of "fair play" had gone out the window. This film makes that crystal
clear, citing the facts to back up that opinion. It will be an
education for most any citizen.
