Votergate is the investigative documentary feature film uncovering the truth about new computer voting systems, which allow a few powerful corporations to record our votes in secret. But Votergate is not just a warning. The film strongly concludes that elections are harder to defraud when voters turn out in big numbers. The Special Edition is designed specifically to help viewers navigate past the fear and spin already being thrown at this critical issue.
Votergate educates viewers about the dangers now threatening the voting system. The film surprises and entertains as characters, like grandmother / investigator Bev Harris, expose the truth, take on the gatekeepers and hold them to account. Votergate educates citizens about how to keenly observe and question the process on Election Day and empowers viewers to hold their election officials to account
George Wendt the actor famous for his role as the good friend “Norm” on the hit comedy Cheers is the narrator of The Special Edition. Bev Harris, is the Executive Director of Black Box Voting ( http://www. BlackBoxVoting. ORG )According (http://www. BlackBoxVoting. ORG )According) to Vanity Fair Magazine her investigations are breaking news, “that would have made her career at The New York Times or Washington Post.”
Andy Stephenson, Associate Director, Black Box Voting – is uncovering nationwide evidence of security risks in America's voting system. The producers Simon Ardizzone, Russell Michaels and Robert Carrillo-Cohen are independent filmmakers who decided to create this 30 minute Special Edition of their feature film, when they realized that most of the information on this vital story was not reaching the public through the mainstream media. (They are producing Votergate in association with Sarah Teale / Teale Productions and Earl Katz of Public Interest Pictures).
Votergate speaks directly to voters of all ages, and also to people who have never considered voting before. This is the one issue that can wake up The People, whether they're Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians or Greens -- who believe Democracy means that every vote counts. We are continuing to shoot through the Presidential election and are receiving contributions to fund the completion of the Post-Election DVD / Feature film.
