"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."
