Documentary.
Originally released in 2008.
Special features: Commentary by the candidates with director Caroline Suh; the complete "Televised" presidential debate; George's lounge; additional footage with the candidates; features music by indie rock bands The Organes Band, Elf Power, Of Montreal, The M's, and others.
Follows four candidates as they navigate an electoral process that is said to be one of the most competitive at the high school level. These teenaged candidates face the same issues as candidates of any age, such as picking the 'right' running mate, shaking as many hands as possible, preparing for televised debates, impressing the pundits and journalistic community, addressing sensitive race-related issues, and mobilizing an apathetic voter base. Follows the presidential campaign at one of the country's most prestigious public high school in the country, the Stuyvesant High School in New York City.
DVD, widescreen (1.85:1); Dolby Digital.
