Recount
The future of the nation was hanging by a... chad.
Directed by Jay Roach
Produced by Spring Creek Pictures, Mirage Enterprises
A tense, procedurally-focused dramatization of the 2000 Florida recount that examines the fragility of democratic institutions through political maneuvering and institutional breakdown.
In 2000, the election of the U.S. Presidential boiled down to a few precious votes in the state of Florida — and a recount that would add "hanging chad" to every American's vocabulary.
