FILM: Who has watched "Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election" ??
2004 by Joan Sekler and Richard Ray Perez.

Just found it for the first time on a library shelf.

Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election is the riveting story about the battle for the Presidency in Florida and the undermining of democracy in America. Filmmakers Richard Ray Pérez and Joan Sekler examine modern America's most controversial political contest: the election of George W. Bush. What emerges is a disturbing picture of an election marred by suspicious irregularities, electoral injustices, and sinister voter purges in a state governed by the winning candidate's brother. George W. Bush stole the presidency of the United States… and got away with it. " …the movie highlights those on the front lines —from the African-Americans who were turned away from the polling booths for assorted reasons. In one memorable scene the filmmakers freeze-frame a 'protest' against the ballot recount, identifying participants as staff members of Republican elected officials." --Elaine Dutka, Los Angeles Times

1. I have a dvd copy of it
Bought it at a dollar store. I live in a Red State - can you tell?


You should also try to find "Unconstitutional" - another great documentary.

2. I bought that throught the MoveOn website
quite awhile ago.

I have loaned it to people who need convincing. It makes the arguments so much better than I ever could.

3. I've shown it in class before my students start reading Uncle Tom's Cabin
to show that the issues in the book are very much still in play.
