In 2009 , Los Angeles filmmakers Brad Mays and Lorenda Starfelt finished work on their feature-length political documentary '' The Audacity of Democracy '' , which followed the 2008 race for the Democratic presidential nomination and focused in particular on PUMA . Shot from June through September 2008 , Mays and Starfelt filmed interviews and political activity in Los Angeles , Princeton , Dallas , Austin , Washington , D.C. , Chicago , New York City and at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver , Colorado . Mays came under almost immediate fire from pro-Obama groups , citing conflict of interest due to the production having been financed by PUMA-PAC itself . Mays acknowledged these concerns but maintained that his film would be an objective account of what he saw and heard during the primary . About a week before the convention , all of Mays 's camera equipment was stolen en route to Chicago . Most of the gear was eventually replaced , but the crucial Chicago shoot was seriously compromised . When Mays decided to film interviews with Internet journalist Tommy Christopher , an outspoken PUMA critic , the rank and file of the PUMA movement quickly denounced the filmmaker , distancing themselves from the entire project
