EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

wrlang Unprecedented – the 2000 presidential elections is a movie all real Americans must watch. It is a sickening look at just how corrupt our nation's political parties have become. It happens in this case that the total lack of integrity falls on the republicans. Improper, almost criminal, activities of the supreme court, Katherine Harris and her entire office, Jeb Bush and his entire office, dozens of congressmen and senators, scores of aides. All of them stealing the birth right of Americans to suite their own nefarious need for power and the subjugation of the democratic process within our republic. The real question is not who was actually elected president, but whether true Americans can learn from this travesty and take back America from the hands of these two despicable, corrupt, and immoral political parties.

one1319 To keep the U.S. a democracy, with fair elections, you must see this and show it to friends. It's rather shocking to see how easy it is for people in power to upstage the public's right to elect their leaders. Unprecedented details the events of the 2000 election from beginning to end. It puts the events in perspective so that you will see all of what actually occurred; all the "out of public view" maneuvering that did not get covered by the press. I was shocked and saddened to see what has become of our voting system, and the ability of a very few, carefully-placed, powerful actors to control and even change election outcomes. Film also highlights the difficulties in having Presidential Campaign Managers be the County Registrar of Voters. The film becomes an adult civics lesson, important to everyone who cares about democracy.

sjw12180 Regardless of your political affiliation, regardless of your cynicism, regardless of your like or dislike of the Bush family--in general or in specific, regardless of all that, this DVD is still an important piece of information.Take just the proven facts contained in this DVD, and that should be enough to make most intelligent people appalled at what happened. Case in point: there's a scene where they have news footage (news footage, not film-crew footage) showing the place where a recount was being conducted. Outside of the doors of that room were a dozen or so Republican Senate and/or Congressional staff members. These people were flown from Washington, DC, to Florida, specifically to disrupt the recount process. These were not angry Floridian voters, or Floridians at all; they were employees of Republican politicians in Washington, DC, sent to Florida for the sole purpose of disrupting the recount, and making it seem as if that were the will of the voters of Florida. Why do you suppose that is? Why do you suppose a lot of them had smirks on their faces as they feigned "outrage?" And that's just *one* FACT that, to me, is appalling.And to the dittohead who believes the racism behind the voter purge prior to the 2000 election was overblown, or a non-factor, you are sadly mistaken... Most likely, you're blinded by your personal feelings rather than opening your eyes, ears, and mind to receiving FACTS. No, I'm not a Democrat, nor am I Republican (although that's how I am enrolled). Nor could my views be defined as Liberal, or Conservative, for that matter. My views are based on my beliefs, coupled with the facts, and I abhor partisan politics. I am an informed voter, period, and I simply refuse to "drink the Kool-Aid" with the rest of you.

bixote That democracy in this Country could be so seemingly easily derailed was a real eye-opener. That we could be susceptible to the kinds of fraud that we have witnessed in "banana republics" around the World gives one a very sobering perspective.
