ITEM OVERVIEW
Whatever you think you know about our election systems or Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, this film will make you further question why the news media fails to accurately inform the public. Directed by GNN's Ian Inaba, American Blackout critically examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence voices of political dissent. It chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Featuring: Journalists Greg Palast, Bob Fitrakis and Congressional members John Conyers, John Lewis, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones and Bernie Sanders. 86 minutes. The hour of bonus material includes deleted scenes with discussions on the Carlyle Group and AIPAC, and the True Lies animated short.
