Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election
A stubborn documentary about the presidential elections of 2000 in Florida (the one with the random malfunctioning voting machines). Variety described the film as agit-prop and that is not an insult or contemptuous in this case. The film makers were obviously driven by a great fury about the illegal way in which the Bush family (Governor Jeb and candidate George W.) were able to claim the election and this fury released the energy to find out all the hidden facts.
