Film:  Please Vote For Me

A really great little documentary from China about 3rd graders experimenting with "democracy" to elect, rather than appoint, a class monitor.  One fantastic element - it was only 57 minutes long - and felt rich and like the story was complete.  One problem with the economics of documentary films is the need to make them theatrical length.  Perhaps with streaming, shorter documentaries can find a way to exist.  And let's face it, a lot of documentary subject matter does not need 1.5-2 hours.  This little documentary was perfect in it's size and scope.

I laughed quite a bit during the movie, the kids end up pulling all the tricks one would expect from Obama and Romney, but the 3rd grade versions.
