American Blackout (DVD)

American Blackout (DVD):

From the Miami Herald:

Some cried. Others left angry. Most displayed some kind of emotion.

From San Francisco, to Los Angeles, to Boston, American Blackout -- a documentary alleging disfranchisement of black voters in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections -- has triggered strong reactions from viewers nationwide.

''What hits people the most is that in this day and age, the suppression of the black and Latino vote is still happening,'' said Jean-Philippe Boucicaut, a co-producer and an editor of the documentary. (End of Miami Herald quotation.)From the Miami Herald:
