American Blackout is a documentary film that premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. The film chronicles the reelection of Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2004 as well as discussing the issues surrounding alleged voter disenfranchisement and the use of voting machines in both the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.
From the film's website:
American Blackout chronicles the supposed recurring patterns of disenfranchisement allegedly witnessed from 2000 to 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who not only took an active role in investigating these election debacles but also found herself in the middle of one after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Some call Cynthia McKinney a civil rights leader among the ranks of Shirley Chisholm and Malcolm X. Others call her a conspiracy theorist and a ‘looney.’ American Blackout gains unprecedented access to one of the most controversial and dangerous politicians in America and examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence political dissent.
