 talk economics, Clinton backers talk gender and accomplishments, and those standing outside the system deliver some of the film's most cogent arguments. They include Vermont organic farmer Boots Wardinski, a Liberty Union Party candidate for lieutenant governor who notes that being truly committed to strong principles is the antidote to getting elected. The diehard environmentalist received 2 percent of the state's vote, and viewed the presidential race as immaterial.

Another outsider, a self-described "houseless" Honolulu man, living in a tent, can't vote because of his prison record. His ignorance of the presidential campaigns and wall-to-wall media coverage looks like a kind of bliss, heightened by the island setting.

But issues are well past the point of arguing — at least in terms of voter turnout — during the hours captured by the filmmakers. Journalists' reluctant discernment of the ballot-box upset is its own subject. At Philadelphia public radio station WHYY and in the newsroom of the Los Angeles Times, journalists who'd drunk the same pollster Kool-Aid as most Americans prepare to report on the election of the country's first female president. They meet the surprising results with no blatant emotion, calmly changing gear — and headlines.

Elsewhere the film tracks shock, elation, despair. In San Jose, community organizer Jesus, himself a Dreamer whose citizenship is on the line under a Trump administration, tries to soothe neighbors' deportation fears. A pall settles over New York City's Javits Center, where Clinton supporters have gathered, expecting to celebrate.

The film is sensitive to the us-vs.-them factor. Watching news coverage of the election results, West Virginia miner Eric Hayhurst bristles at news anchors' use of the phrase "rural areas," interpreting it as code for "uneducated." Had he heard it, he might have felt the same way about WHYY reporter Dave Davies' end-of-night, off-the-air remark: "Wow. There's anger out there in the hinterlands."

Whether or not Election Day is far enough in the rearview mirror for Americans to examine it objectively, Deutchman's doc aims a spotlight on what should already be obvious: Voters equate self-interest with national interest, and there are perceived, if not non-negotiable, conflicts between various groups' goals.
