Negative Positive
Title: The Election Process
Review: The video "Street Fight" provides a window from which to view the mayoral election in a city that is dealing with high levels of poverty and big business investors. The gentrification occurring within the city hides the fact that the investors are taking profits from the city and transferring it through their headquarters to the already wealthy.The incumbant is supported by the investors and also popular national figures who don't fully understand the city's problems.This city's electoral process provides a nice metaphor for larger scale elections, from state to federal level elections. It reveals what common people are concerned about, and it shows intelligence is not just a characteristic of the powerful.A fabulous movie, which will be a part of my curriculum for years to come.
