"Chronicles the recurring patterns of disenfranchisement witnessed from 2000 to
2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who
not only took an active role in investigating these election debacles but also found
herself in the middle of one after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about
the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Some call Cynthia McKinney a civil rights leader among the
ranks of Shirley Chisholm and Malcolm X. Others call her a conspiracy theorist and a
'looney.' American Blackout gains unprecedented access to one of the most
controversial and dangerous politicians in America and examines the contemporary
tactics used to control our democratic process and silence political dissent. The film
features interviews with: US Congressional Representatives, John Lewis, Cynthia
McKinney, John Conyers, Bernie Sanders, and Stephanie Tubbs-Jones; former US
Civil Rights Commissioner & Dean of UC Berkeley's School of Law, Christopher
Edley; BBC journalist Greg Palast; and, Van Jones, Executive Director of the Ella
Baker Center." -imdb.com
