DOCUMENTARY FILM EXPOSING AMERICAN VOTING SYSTEM

Emmy award winner and Oscar nominated social issue filmmaker Dorothy  
Fadiman will present her latest documentary 'Stealing America: Vote by  
Vote' in Wellington on March 5th.

Employing first-person accounts, extensive research and clips gleaned  
from the nightly news,  the film  sheds light on a decade of vote  
counts in America that don't match votes cast.  These include  
uncounted ballots, vote switching, under-votes and many other examples  
of election totals that warrant serious investigation.  In a review,  
Film Journal International stated “Stealing America: Vote by Vote does  
for American democracy what An Inconvenient Truth did for global  
warming”.

Dorothy Fadiman has been producing award-winning media with a focus on  
social justice and human rights since 1976 and has won more than 50  
major awards, including an Emmy for her production From Danger to  
Dignity: The Fight for Safe Abortion (Producer/Co-Director), and an  
Oscar nomination for Best Short Subject, as well as the Gold Medal  
from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, for When Abortion Was  
Illegal: Untold Stories (Co-Producer/Director).


‘Stealing America: Vote By Vote’ on 5 March at The Film School, 86  
Vivian St,
Wellington. Tickets $5 WIFT members, $10 others.  Door sales, cash only.
