Right now, across the country, our two major political parties are
gearing up for a once-a-decade war whose winner will control
Congress for the next ten years, and possibly more. There will be
battles in every state, and each will be kept carefully hidden from the
prying eyes of average voters who only become more disenchanted
with their government with each meaningless election. Democrats and
Republicans collude to keep these skirmishes private so that they can
maintain total control over the ultimate political weapon: the ability to
directly determine the outcome of elections. Why bother stuffing ballots
when they can just draw districts? For the first time, the eye-opening
documentary Gerrymandering exposes the most effective form of
manipulating elections short of outright fraud. After the redistricting is finished, will you know where your district went? USA, 2010, 81 min.
