    I have been following this film since the premier at Sundance. It is unlike any political film that I've have seen, It has a feeling of a thriller in that you are inside of an election that is about to spiral out of control.

    Occasionally lacking in context but never less than intriguing, Jarreth Merz's polished film is a handy document to a rarely visited democracy.

    As we join throngs of excited citizens at a public vote-counting, their uninhibited zeal for the process only highlights the jaded cynicism that threatens to overwhelm our own.
