Whatever you think you know about our election systems or
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, this film will make you
question further why the news media fails to accurately inform
the public. Directed by GNN's Ian Inaba, creator of
Eminem's "Mosh" music video, American Blackout critically
examines the contemporary tactics used to control our
democratic process and silence voices of political dissent.
Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities
that occurred during the presidential elections of 2000
and 2004. Until now, these incidents have gone under-
reported and are commonly written-off as insignificant
rumors or unintentional mishaps resulting from an
overburdened election system.
American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of
voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004
while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman
Cynthia McKinney. 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.
Featuring: Congressional members John Conyers, John Lewis,
Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, Bernie Sanders and jounalists Greg
Palast and Bob Fitrakis.
