Movie Reviews of Unprecedented - The 2000 Presidential Election - 2004 Campaign Edition

Movie Review: Low key one sided documentary still interesting.
Summary: 3 Stars

This documentary goes into detail and at least lets the viewer understand the case against the Republicans who supposedely stole the Florida 2000 election for George Bush. It's one sided, but at least it's not sensationalistic and really does give one pause for thought. Definitely worth a look.

Summary of Unprecedented - The 2000 Presidential Election - 2004 Campaign Edition

Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election is 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 2000 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. This 2004 Campaign Edition features new commentary by Danny Glover and a new segment on the dangers of electronic voting machines.

. Features new material, including commentary by Danny Glover and an update on electronic voting.

. Grand Festival award winner for documentary at the Berkeley Video and Film Festival.

. Route 66 award winner for Best Documentary Feature at the Winslow International Film Festival.

. Grand Jury Award Documentary and Directors Award Documentary at the New York International Independent Film Festival.

. Audience Award for Best Documentary at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival.


In the course of 47 provocative minutes, Unprecedented leaves little doubt that the 2000 presidential election was a mockery of justice. Focusing on rampant, court-sanctioned abuses of the democratic process in Florida, directors Richard Ray Perez and Joan Sekler present a thorough reexamination of the circumstances that allowed the election of George W. Bush, including the Gore campaign's fatal failure to request the state-wide recount to which the Democratic party was legally entitled. In particular, the political ambitions of Florida secretary of state Katherine Harris are exposed with devastating, irrefutable evidence of cronyism, including the Bush administration's post-election appointment of the son of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, whose support of Florida's haphazard election results was arguably a violation of his oath. Through it all, Florida's African American voters and discounted "felons" are victimized by a bureaucratic nightmare of exclusion, and uncounted votes remained officially in limbo. The film's liberal bias is obvious (it was executive produced by Robert Greenwald, the director of Outfoxed), but Unprecedented is ultimately an impassioned plea to Americans of every political affiliation: If you don't vote, you will further weaken the democratic principles that were so fatefully violated in Florida. --Jeff Shannon
