So where is the outrage?
We as Americas were raised with the idea that we were the great font of democracy. Now Americans rather hold on to the myth, rather than fight for the reality.
We now have an Apartheid vote counting system right here in America.
an Apartheid political system right here in America, an Apartheid media system here in America.
This film chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following the story of a Georgia Congresswoman. McKinney not only took an active role investigating these election debacles, but has found herself in the middle of her own after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Another voice that spoke truth to power, suffers the equivalency to a political lynching. "Connecting the dots" can be a very dangerous thing.
