Dorothy Fadiman's powerful, moving, infuriating, comprehensive and brilliant new film might well be re-named "The Crime of the Century."
We all now know that the elections of 2000 and 2004 were stolen. The only thing that the American people can be proud of about George W. Bush is that they (or we) have never chosen him President.
Fadiman's many awards include an Emmy and an Oscar nomination, and in this excellent film, we can see why. She uses these 70 cinematic minutes to patiently, methodically and convincingly dismantle any possible remaining arguments against the reality of what was done to the American democratic process in 2004, primarily in Ohio.
With neither hysteria nor hyperbole, she presents a series of interviews with voters, election officials, writers and experts who have followed the theft since before it was perpetrated (by way of disclosure, brief interviews with myself and my frequent co-author Bob Fitrakis appear in the film). Fadiman wisely peppers the piece with clever, on-point clips from the major media, most importantly from Comedy Central.
