Recount

Recently I saw the movie Recount on HBO. The movie, as the title suggests, takes a second look at the Florida Recount in the 2000 Presidential Election. As I watched, I did what any good AIS student would do: I analyzed biases. The film had a strong liberal bias, and as a democrat, it was very painful to watch the apparent injustice unfold. The whole controversy was depicted as a huge mess that boiled over in a vast right-wing conspiracy. Whether this depiction was accurate, I'll never know, but it was quite obvious that the filmmakers had an agenda to incriminate the Bush campaign. Contrarily, Al Gore was portrayed as pratically super-human. It almost seemed he was too good of a man to become president. He eventually conceited graciously even though it was apparent he would have won (should the recount had continued). I would certainly like to believe that the film was a 100% truthful portrayal of this event, but I wonder whether such a thing exists...
