Event Description:
Join us for a screening of “Election Day.” Forget the pie charts, color-coded maps and hyperventilating pundits. What’s the street-level experience of voters in today’s America? In a triumph of documentary storytelling, POV’s Election Day combines 11 stories — shot simultaneously on November 2, 2004, from dawn until long past midnight — into one.
