Pay-What-You-Choose Ticket includes access to the film I Vote for My Joey and the moderated discussion From Joey to Joe: Voting Lessons from 2000 for 2020. The conversation was recorded on Wednesday, September 9 and will play immediately after the film.
Today I Vote for My Joey is a tragic comedy about the 2000 Presidential Elections in Palm Beach County. The twenty minute short depicts a group of older, feisty Jews and a Haitian nurse going to vote proudly for the first Jewish Vice-Presidential candidate, Senator Joe Lieberman. Their day is ruined when they find they mistakenly voted for their nemesis, Pat Buchanan. Also addressed are the issues of voting rights in our democracy, especially for those denied them in "the old country" and Haiti.
From Joey to Joe: Voting Lessons from 2000 to 2020: Former host of NPR’s All Things Considered Robert Siegel moderates a conversation with US Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD 8th District), longtime chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore Roy Neel, and filmmaker and DC statehood voting rights advocate Aviva Kempner. Using Kempner’s tragicomedy Today I Vote for My Joey, they examine how butterfly ballots and other voting issues of the 2000 Presidential election offer lessons for the upcoming election.
