SELECT REVIEWS

The reporting on display here is top notch, and its anger is tempered with intelligent journalism that aims for fairness. It's a solid work all around, and a welcome addition to the current political documentary explosion.  - David Cornelius, Efilmcritic 

A balanced and resourceful film that peers into America's voting system and finds there are more problems than meet the eye.  - Buzzflash
