Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I tried to find an email to Miss Pelosi to no avail... One question she should have asked was "Lets say Bobby Jindal were to run for office in 2012 or beyond. Would you still have the same views?" This would have put some people quiet for a moment and the audience would see the real truth to the matter of electing officials. Most would probably say,"If that were the case-I will not vote" WAKE UP REPUBLICANS: He is one possible future to the party. Overall though, the documentary was great. I especially liked when she asked one man, "Do you only listen to FOX NEWS because they only tell you what you want to hear?" All he could say in exasperation was "No"

First off, this was made by Nancy Peolsi's daughter, so much for a fair project. I'm not saying these people are not a part of America, unfortunately they are, but to say they represent everyone that didn't vote for Obama is false. This would be like Newt Gingrich going to Berkeley or San Francisco and filming flag burners and troop protesters and saying that this is the average Obama supporter. I live in New Orleans, part of fly over country, and I know no one like the people in this film. If someone voted against Obama because he is black, their wrong. If people voted for Obama because he's black, their wrong too. I'm white and voted for Ron Paul. My girlfriend's black and voted for Obama. I know people who voted for Obama just cause it was the "it" thing to do. And that to is wrong. If this country is going to come together both the far right and the far left need to go far away.

To say that "The producer has chosen to edit this documentary by highlighting the most ignorant people she could find out there" is typical of the kind of criticism you might expect of a film that you don't like, but the reality is, this film hit the head on the nail. It provides a pretty accurate depiction of the attitudes that are commonplace once you venture beyond the west and east coast in the United States. I have lived throughout the United States, raised in a bastion of conservatism (Arizona), and even lived in the pinnacle of liberalism (San Francisco) for a time. I have also lived in Pennsylvania, Florida, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah and elsewhere in this country not to mention outside of this country. I have seen and experienced firsthand what we see in this film more than I care to and I was happy to see that I was not the only one who felt that a mirror needed to be held up. There are deep divisions in America today, and while some critics might want to just dust off a piece of work like this and say this is an extreme sample and therefore not representative of a large part of the American population has not spent too much time in middle America. It pains me to no end to know that this documentary is not just a biased piece from the "liberal media elite" but rather a scary picture of where this country has found itself. If you, like the editor's of the Daily Mirror once wrote ever thought... "How can 59,054,087 people be so dumb?" This film will at least provide a bit of reassurance that you are not alone in asking the question. If on the other hand you think that the biggest problem facing the United States is the end of days that the media liberal elite is working in cahoots with the Liberal establishment to bring about, then you will be reassured that you are not alone as well. Either way, don't blame the messenger.Yes, we are divided.

This is a very well put together and instructional view of one side of the American voter. Ms Pelosi has put together multiple viewpoints throughout her film documentary history and this is no exception....there is no added viewpoint of the producer of this piece and it seems to follow along with the thoughts out there without comment or editorializing. A very solid film with insight into one view if the American voter. I enjoyed the overall attitude of the interviewees who participated. The random cross-section covered a very large part of the heartland and the south....there should have been more from the mountain states and New England but, that would have probably started to look like repeating the basic points that were made by the voters. There were even opposing points of view brought out....which is rare in this type of program. Watch (with an open mind if you have an opposing view to what you see)...this will result in some insight into what this country is up against and the reasons why there is such a polarization out there.
