American Blackout critically examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence voices of political dissent.

Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities that occurred during the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Until now, these incidents have gone under- reported and are commonly written-off as insignificant rumors or unintentional mishaps resulting from an overburdened election system.

American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Mckinney not only took an active role investigating these election debacles, but has found herself in the middle of her own after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Featuring: Congressional members John Conyers, John Lewis, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, Bernie Sanders and jounalists Greg Palast and Bob Fitrakis.

  • What is funny is the guy for the right on Crossfire is the one who set the conspiracy theory in motion, not McKinney. Truth will out.

  • "Cynthia McKinney a dirty politician", boy you need to wash your mouth out. You got so many white devil politicians to worry about I'm surprised you have time to worry about a black woman seeking and speaking truth!

  • I was a volunteer at a non-profit radio station and was responsible for most of the office work.

    I wish I knew who Cynthia was, I was on the phone with her for 5 minutes...and didn't find out who she was until a year or so later.
