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.

  • @jfcemporium what he said was inappropriate ,yes but there are white people who believe calling each other skanks and whores and bitchs etc etc is funny and its apart of their everyday speech and they are still able to vote..does that scare you? if not what is the difference between black ghetto(because he was..lets be honest) and white trashiness would u rather one vote over the other? or neither?

  • It has always been dangerous. JFK, Boby kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X etc...

  • You seem more ignorant than he is. Get off your high horse, cause before Obama there was Bush. Who did you vote for?

  • Your kidding right? Did you even hear what you just said? What makes you think that that man has ANY less of a right to vote than you do? Your ignorance is disgusting.

  • look at 6:10. This is the kind of people who are allowed to vote in this country. This is why Obama is president. Makes you think doesnt it?
