| This film spells out why the Greens and Nader did not throw the election in 2000. It shows over and over again how the Florida officials rigged the election so that GWB would "win". This documentary is important for any US citizen to watch no matter their political affiliation if they care about our democracy. There are very good interviews in this documentary and a lot of evidence showing that the election had been rigged. Too bad Greenwald didn't do one on the 2004 election that Kerry threw in Ohio. |

Michael Moore is all about the hype, and ended up making a movie that is, in some areas, as extreme as a Christian Coalition Anti-Abortion tract - heart-string-plucking galore, complete with emotional breakdowns and obvious creative editing.
Unprecedented, on the other hand, is a proper documentary. it's fact-oriented, intelligent, investigative and does not, in fact, leave Gore blameless. information that you've probably never heard about how things really went in Florida- LONG before the actual votes took place. very clear and understandable analysis of the supreme court issues.
there's no crying, at least on the screen, and while it covers multiple angles of the story leading up to and after the 2000 election, it stays focused and flows smoothly. i saw this at an indie film fest a few years ago and was shocked at what i learned. watch it with as many people as you can rustle up!

| UNPRECEDENTED: The 2000 Presidential Election is not "news" in capital letters. But for those of us who followed the tortuous path that led to the appointing of George W. Bush as our President a few years back, this documentary offers a trip down memory lane that pulls a lot of threads together and will leave those who are unimpressed with this man's handling of his office even angrier and more depressed than they probably are right now. The co-directors do an expert job of weaving the story together, starting out with a little history of the state of Florida and then covering the Florida state government's blocking of blacks voters, the media's stupidly selective handling of the whole affair, the shameful work our Supreme Court and other important topics. Be sure to watch the dvd extras?-which give a little update and some very good additional information. |
