Ian Inaba assembles compelling evidence to support his claim that African-Americans -- who are traditionally more likely to vote Democratic -- are being deliberately and systematically excluded from the political process. Sep 22, 2006 | Rating: 3/5

The movie includes a postscript about [McKinney's] loss, blaming it on more dirty tricks. That may be true, but it doesn't put the steam back in the film. Sep 22, 2006 | Rating: 2/4

American Blackout makes a credible case, with some of its most damning evidence coming from the mouths of the conservatives themselves. Sep 15, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

An illuminating, infuriating document that paints McKinney as a true American heroine and patriot and confirms your worst fears about just how rotten our 'democratic' process is at its core. Sep 7, 2006

A raised-fist documentary on black voter disenfranchisement which loses some, but definitely not all, its punch by morphing into a paid ad for Cynthia McKinney. Sep 28, 2006 | Full Review…

American Blackout exposes a few issues we have already known about for years (the voting situation) before finally turning towards greater things by focusing itself on a truly remarkable individual. Jan 31, 2006 | Rating: 3.5/5

Well structured and fast paced, the film uses news footage, interviews with voters and congressional leaders, poignant images of Ohio voters standing for hours in the rain, only to be told it was too late to vote. Jan 26, 2006
