Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election (NR)

synopsis

This film documents the battle for the Presidency in Florida in 2000. Focusing on events leading up to election day and the attempt to count legally cast votes in the days that followed, the film examines a suspicious pattern of irregularities, injustices and voter purges -- all in a state governed by the winning candidate's brother. 'Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election' is a cautionary tale, warning that we must insist our elections be conducted in a manner above reproach, that all legitimate voters may exercise their franchise, and all legal votes must be counted. Anything less undermines our faith in democracy.
