RECALLING DEMOCRACY is a 14 minute video documentary about the recall election of Humboldt County District Attorney Paul Gallegos, a recall funded by a major corporation, MAXXAM/Pacific Lumber. Was this an effort to avert the lawsuit the D.A. had filed against Pacific Lumber for environmental violations? At stake is the country's most endangered species - democracy.

On the day of the election our correspondent explores money politics, media distortions and grass roots action. Interviews with local business leaders, students and activists, tell a story that has a clear national parallel of politics and corporate money. Can the force of money politics recall democracy?
