Holler Back: (Not) Voting in an American Town (2008)

The action takes place in LeHigh County, Pennsylvania three days before the 2004 presidential election. Predicted to be one of the tightest races in the country - a swing county in a swing state that could decide the election; the race is in a dead heat. Progressives from out of state have mobilized against local conservatives in a fierce battle of organizational skill and stamina that extends beyond the political and becomes profoundly personal. But in the midst of this intense door-to-door combat that could determine the presidency, approximately 40% of those eligible won't even vote. This film explores their stories: Why they don't participate. How they feel about the process. And what it would take for them to become part of "The World's Greatest Democracy."
