The documentary film 18 in '08 is a call to action: to encourage youth voters to register, vote, get informed, and stay involved. Over the years there have been many efforts to get young people involved and engaged in politics, but few have been organized and engineered from the ground up by young people themselves. 18 in '08 is a peer to peer engagement effort, it has been made by young people and designed to appeal to young people. Over 29 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 will be eligible to vote in 2008; if that power is harnessed properly, young people could swing the outcome of the election. While youth voter turnout increased both in the 2004 and 2006 elections, it is still well below the level it should be, especially when considering the pressing importance of today's issues to the lives of young people. To mobilize this demographic, 18 in '08 is leading an unprecedented movement to engage, register, and mobilize young voters for the 2008 election and beyond.
