True but it's only about 25 minutes from NYC and there still aren't any hicks. Oddly, a couple of towns over is called Hicksville. :P No hicks there either. Go figure.
I'm a Dem... but after reading what you wrote, I had to comment. It is McCain*, no E at the end. Also Hofstra is in NYC and if you think NYC has hicks, then you have serious issues.
Superb. I was riveted from beginning to end. I thgink we are all thirsty for REAL poeple and opinions and not from the angles of the spin doctors- although unfortyunately that's where nost people learn about the candidates.
Look forward to the full documentary....and for the election to be over FTL!
Very poignant look at both sides there. The 95yr old was so interesting, and the guy at the end spoke so well for Veterans! Thanks for letting us all see from this angle!
That was great, Joe. You captured things that the media ignores, and did it with style. And you're right, it looks great in high quality. Why doesn't YouTube default to high quality?
Thanks. Funny thing is.. I was an Obama guy. Now I'm not sure I can vote for either of these guys. Luckily, in NY I have the luxury of going off the reservation.
As always, your work is an inspiration to me. You have a strong, clear voice which you so amazingly represent through your films, no matter the subject. I can't wait to see the full film!
Gosh I may be in England but the decisions that Americans make affect the whole world and in particular my little country. So I watch and worry, but a lot of what I see is spin. Thanks for showing real people sharing their thoughts.
That was an amazing documentary! It said so much in such a short time and left me in tears. I think they're tears of hope. Cheers, Lesley
Chilling. I was touched by the young serviceman at the end... ..oh and the 95 year old gentleman. I wish this was longer and can't wait for the next installment. Great work!
Goosebumps and chills. Very well done. I just found out last week that one of my dearest friends died in Iraq. I'm so angry and sad. It just needs to end!
Closer to an hour, driving time. And as for hicks--like anything else--it just depends on where you look.

Guess it depends on who's driving. :^P I usually make it to the tunnel in about an hour from the middle of Suffolk... Just saying.
Agreed, "hicks" could be found just about anywhere I suppose.
Thanks for stopping by again. :^)

I started crying near the end when I saw the vets--knowing that soon they would be chrged upon by mounted police and trampled.
The MSM is silent.
