Documenting the 2000 Election The DC Independent Media Center hosts "Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election," the riveting story about the battle for the presidency in Florida and the undermining of democracy in America. Filmmakers Richard Ray Perez and Joan Sekler examine modern America's most controversial political contest: the election of George W. Bush.
What emerges is a disturbing picture of an election marred by suspicious irregularities, electoral injustices and sinister voter purges in a state governed by the winning candidate's brother. George W. Bush stole the presidency of the United States – and got away with it.
"Unprecedented" and other indy films produced by local video makers will be shown at Visions Cinema on Tuesday, June 3, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $9. Visions is located where 20th Street meets Florida Avenue between Connecticut and T streets. The closest Metro stop is Dupont Circle, Q Street exit.
