Film SynopsisMost people have heard of the voting irregularities that marred the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Some even know of the resulting challenges to the electoral votes by African- American congressional representatives. However, because the mainstream media shies away from reporting cases of imperiled democracy, the public is left to believe these stories are at worst insignificant rumors or at best one-off incidents that result from an overburdened election system.

Plot Summary
American Blackout 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. Whatever you think you know about our election systems or Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, this film will make you further question why the news media fails to accurately inform the public.
