NEW
FILM ON
FLORIDA
ELECTION FIASCO FILM
“The
answer is tough investigations of what happened in the
voting and the vote counting, uncompromised by the false
notion that avoidance of controversy will be healing.
The answer is also tough reporting on what happened
in Florida that does not confuse fairness with the
unsatisfactory practice of quoting one strident voice and
then its opposite in every story.” Alex Jones of Harvard
University’s Center on the Press, Politics and Public
Policy in the New
York Times
A NEW CUTTING-EDGE
FILM FROM GLOBALVISION ON
THE
UNTOLD STORY OF THE 2000 ELECTORAL FIASCO IN FLORIDA:
COUNTING
ON DEMOCRACY
Produced and Directed by Danny Schechter
“This
tale of race, political payback, voter fraud and justice
deferred could have come out of a Hollywood thriller. But
no—this is the story of the
2000
Presidential election in Florida, one of the most
startling, disturbing events in recent years. Directed by
investigative reporter
Danny
Schechter
[executive
editor of
MediaChannel.org,
and executive producer of
Globalvision],
Counting on
Democracy is a jaw-dropping, even terrifying account
of just how shallow our nation’s commitment to democracy
can be” Taos Film Festival
175,000 votes went uncounted in
Florida during the 2000 Presidential Election. Only 537
votes separated the contenders when the United States
Supreme Court gave the presidency to George W. Bush? What
happened to all the votes? What was behind the fiasco in
Florida? Was it a coup, a conspiracy or a “tyranny
of small decisions?” Were black voters disenfranchised
and other minorities discriminated against?
COUNTING
ON DEMOCRACY tells the full story the mainstream media
wouldn’t.
This
non-partisan hour-long investigative film penetrates the
electoral swamp in Florida with interviews and new
information about how the right to vote was undermined,
and the recount sabotaged. Globalvision
speaks with voters, activists, and partisans on all sides
to make sense of the disruption of democracy and a massive
denial of the right to vote. This eye opening film goes
deeper than the networks in upholding the right to vote.
