A very useful documentary for understand the resorts of democracy. Powerful in the context of 2020 presidential elections, interesting for the mechanism of victory of G.W.Bush and great for the reflection of details. It is just fascinating this huge ball of manipulation and precises steps to the expected- forced win. So, just useful proof about the force of a county.
Reasonably well done political piece designed to largely make one think the election was stolen from Gore, though, to be fair, it did present some comment from both sides. Wish it had been a straight representation of history and let the viewer decide what actually took place and what affect it had on our country/history. Thought the biggest joke was comments that if Gore had won 9/11 never would have happened. Didn't realize Bin Laden was such a Gore fan. Went in to say the Iraq war would have been avoided as well, which probably would be true if in fact 9/11 didn't happen. Too bad this could have been great. It was trying and interesting time in our history. An honest documentary would have been far better.
I would have preferred to see non bias documentary as that what makes a true Documentary. It's similar to a Dinesh D'Souza Documentary as it has a lot of facts but presented in a bias manner. The film was still entertaining and brought back a lot of memories of that crazy year..

This was one of Fidel's biggest worldwide victories. The War for Elian Gonzalez was heard throughout the world. La Familia Cubana de Miami and Cubans in general came out looking like "dirt". Many Cuban Democrats didn't vote for Gore as payback for the Democrats having "taken" Elian back to Cuba with his father (voto de castigo). That of course, contributed to Bush winning, with consequences like the war in Iraq and you know the rest. Excellent documentary.
So Al gore didn't care about the constitution or the will of the people. he and his minions spent millions trying to subvert the actual results.
Can you imagine if Trump spends as much money on court cases to fight the results, what the Democrats will say? If he does what Gore did, they will accuse him of subverting the election
