Those who think George W. Bush won fair and square might well test their convictions against the evidence presented here.

Presents a convincing case that the wrong man took Florida and the country.

Slicker, better-documented and more convincing than most documentaries on this subject.

Robert Roten
Laramie Movie Scope
The finished products are more serious and well-crafted than that, giving voice to the concerns of credible experts and eyewitnesses, and mounting relatively low-key, cautiously reasoned arguments.

The film should be required viewing for all Americans.
