Got our vote (video)
While updating our Out This Week thingy, we noticed a film called Hacking Democracy was released yesterday.
We dunno about yous but we’ve never heard of it, so did a bit of digging on your behalf.
Here’s all the news fit to print. It’s an HBO documentary from 2006, by directors Simon Ardizzone and Russell Michaels, which looks at anomalies and irregularities with ‘e-voting’ systems during America’s 2000 and 2004 elections.
Filmed over three years, the flick investigates the flawed integrity of electronic voting machines and ends, rather excitingly, in the on-camera hacking of a live election. Coo!
Hullo...
Thank you for reading. We could do with your help to keep going. All our content is free... But if you can, you can support us to continue bringing you this coverage, these articles, interviews and reviews. This connection with real indie filmmakers.
It's here we encourage you to get out, watch indie films, support crowdfunders, go to your local venue.
And if you can, Pay What You Can to keep all this going. From £1 a week - £4 a month - a fiver, or whatever you can spare. Much appreciated.
We even found this comment about the movie from the New York Times: ‘It’s not shocked-shocked you feel watching this film; it’s genuine SHOCK’.
Sounds pretty good, huh? Well, you’re outta luck, buddy. As far as we can tell, it’s nowhere to be seen in D+C.
We’re not sure when it is due to show in the region (hey, that would take even more research), but judging by the promo below, it should be worth checking out when it does.
