5.0 out of 5 stars Great Documentary, October 1, 2007

This review is from: By the People - Democracy in the Wild (DVD)

BY THE PEOPLE is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. It's funny, exciting, and illuminating. If you wonder if your vote means anything, if you care about the electoral process in America, see this strictly non-partisan film. It should be required viewing for all citizens.

This review is from: By the People - Democracy in the Wild (DVD)

I saw this at the Jackson Hole Film Festival and am so glad I saw it - it's the best inside look at what needs to be accomplished by a community in order to vote ... and how vulnerable the election process and results really are. See this film and take action in your community - it's worth it.

This review is from: By the People - Democracy in the Wild (DVD)

Almost all political movies show the "political" side of politics, which is so distant from most of us. "By the People," shows a view of politics as it really is. Not glamorous, not exciting every minute, but a day to day carrying out of small tasks. This is a movie about people -- real people -- whose job it is to make an election work. It is a behind the scenes view of the elements that make it possible for each of us to have a say in our democracy. You will not see Robert Redford in "By the People," but you might see someone just like your next door neighbor. A wonderful, interesting film.
