Cynthia McKinney & the Great American Blackout

With two days till the election this serves as a reminder that we must all get out and vote. Volunteer to drive senior citizens to the polls, work as poll watchers, as well as at campaign headquarters. We must not have a repeat of the thievery that took place in 2000 and 2004.

American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement witnessed in both elections while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who not only took an active role in investigating these election debacles but also found herself in the middle of one after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Some call Cynthia McKinney a civil rights leader among the ranks of Shirley Chisholm and Malcolm X. American Blackout gains unprecedented access to one of the most controversial and outspoken politicians in America and examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence political dissent.
