Reviews
Palast slices through all the B.S., and while he may be over-the-top in his presentation, keep in mind, he's got just the facts, ma'am.Daphne Howland, Village Voice
The film’s message transcends the devilish details of voter suppression, partisan institutional racism and unrepentant billionaire greed. Exercising the right to vote is about breaking the grip billionaires and oligarchs have on the economy, pushing people to needless suffering so an elite can profit and live exorbitantly.Steven Rosenfeld, Alternet
