The film won a much-deserved audience award for its honest portrayal of political campaigns. I have a brief write-up on <a href="http://chutry.wordherders.net/archives/006004.html" rel="nofollow">my blog,</a> but I got a similar email from Documentary Insider, and I'm really glad I listened. Hoping to write a longer review essay later. Agreed with Jake and Steve. The film won a much-deserved audience award for its honest portrayal of political campaigns.

The audience was spellbound. I laughed, I winced, I cried, and by the end I felt like I'd worked on the roller-coaster campaign for months. And I wanted to vote for Jeff, for anything he ever runs for. I agree with Jake. The audience was spellbound.

The audience was in awe. This film is incredibly inspiring. At its worst... its the best campaign video ever made. At its best, its a serious critique of campaign politics, especially raising interesting questions about the relationship between white candidates and black voters. This film must reach a wide audience! Just got home from the screening and it was incredible! The audience was in awe. This film is incredibly inspiring.
