Hacking Democracy (2006) DVDRip XviD

The disturbingly shocking HBO documentary HACKING DEMOCRACY bravely tangles with our nation s ills at the heart of democracy. The film the Diebold corporation doesn t want you to see this revelatory profile follows a tenacious grandmother from Seattle Bev Harris and her band of extraordinary citizen-activists as they set out to ask one simple question:

How does America count its votes? From Florida and California to Ohio and Washington State filmmakers Simon Ardizzone Robert Cohens and Russell Michaels starkly reveal a rotten system riddled with inaccuracy incompetent election officials and electronic voting machines that can be programmed to steal elections. Equipped only with a powerful sense of righteous outrage the activists take on voting machine manufacturer Diebold exposing unsettling security holes in the company s equipment. They even go dumpster diving at a county election official s office in Florida uncovering incendiary evidence of miscounted votes.HACKING DEMOCRACY takes a nonpartisan clear-eyed look at the secrecy cronyism and incompetence of elections in present-day America as it captures a citizen s movement intent on taking back elections--and democracy itself. It is hard to imagine...a documentary this season that is more important to the civic life of the nation--let alone one that is so compelling and ultimately moving (Baltimore Sun).
