Set during the final 30 days of the 2004 Presidential elections,
Swing State Ohio
explores the varied factors
that account for the outcome of the 2004 Presidential Elections. Led
by an on-camera tandem of citizen-journalists, Loren and Lauren, the
filmmakers expose a flawed electoral system while illuminating the
widespread civic engagement that characterized the 2004 elections.
Treading where the networks failed (or feared) to tread, they
interview a diverse roster of Ohio voters, third-party activists, and
public officials of all political stripes. The effect is an insightful
and nuanced appraisal of American Democracy at the turn of the
21st
century.
