An unprecedented event

The riveting story about the battle for the Presidency in Florida.

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 picture of an election marred by irregularities, electoral injustices, and voter purges in a state governed by the winning candidate's brother.

"Highlights those on the front lines ... 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
