P.O.V. | Election Day by Katy Chevigny | PBS

Broadcast Date: July 1, 2008 http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2008/electionday/ Forget the pie charts, color-coded maps and hyperventilating pundits. What's the street-level experience of voters in today's America? In a triumph of documentary storytelling, "Election Day" combines 11 stories — shot simultaneously on November 2, 2004, from dawn until long past midnight — into one. Factory workers, ex-felons, harried moms, Native American activists and diligent poll watchers, from South Dakota to Florida, take the process of democracy into their own hands. The result is an entertaining, inspiring and sometimes unsettling story of citizens determined to vote on one fateful day. A co-production of Independent Television Service (ITVS).
