As the country looks ahead to the 2008 elections, political pundits and
strategists agree – the road to the White House will once again pass
through Ohio, the state that has voted with the winner of the past 11
U.S. Presidential Elections. So what is it about Ohio, and what lessons
does it offer to those who aspire to lead us in 2008 and 2012?
While most political documentaries have an ideological axe to grind,
Swing State Ohio takes a refreshingly non-partisan approach to
illuminating the enigmatic entity of electoral politics. The filmmakers
interview a wide array of characters whose views cover a wide political
spectrum, ranging from a fiery Evangelical, an idealistic young
canvasser, and an 80 year-old tobacco farmer with a knack for
one-liners. In addition to presenting this compelling cast of
characters, the filmmakers explore the ever-important issue of
electoral integrity, highlighting the controversy surrounding the
handling of the elections in Ohio in 2004.
Perhaps above all, Swing State Ohio is superbly-made film, with strong
characters, a smooth soundtrack, and a well-paced narrative that keeps
the audience engaged throughout. Part Daily Show and part Frontline,
Swing State Ohio marks a new breed of documentary.
