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.

  • Why did my +5 star rating not show up????

    Does it have anything with the way their march was stopped??

    Does it have anything in common with the massacre at Wounded Knee when the Native Americans were slaughtered because they were empowered to do a Native Dance???

    Why does YouTube tell me I posted my comment 4 seconds ago, and say I have already rated the view, BUT the view is still at the same #26, and the ratings are at 0? Why will they not be fair and consistent?? Tell the TRUTH!!!

  • Republicans = Nazis = KKK = skinheads

  • Whites are always saying to blacks...."You need to forget that slavery ever happened," or "You all need to let it go." But then, they turn around and do something underhanded, evil and conniving like this. I will never trust a white person. Evil is too much a part of their DNA.

  • Cynthia is a hero!

  • @eyeOOsee nothing is fair in america. I'm sorry to tell you that.

  • This video won't even play now!!!!!

  • Its uncanny how similiar those civil rights marches back in those times look exactly like the civil rights marches we had in Ireland in the 60's, inspired by the civils rights movements in US ofc, CS gas and batons included. We have a lot to thank those people for, black and white TV clips dont realy do justice to the tension and fear people experience at these marches, real life heroes indeed.

  • Shame that governments today are corrupt and injust.

    May God Watch over all.
