About this episode

I VOTED TODAY is a short documentary celebrating the power that each individual person had in the last US election. 2008 was the year that America wrote a new chapter in history. But behind the big campaign speeches and debates, beyond the packed stadiums and the hype on TV... were the actions of everyday people. Those who volunteered, those who didn’t just stand by - they were the ones who helped write this history. Set in Cleveland, Ohio, on election day, I VOTED TODAY is about one of these people. An everyday person who decides to volunteer driving a van that helps people get to the polls. We spend a day in his taxi with his passengers, picking up anyone that wanted to go vote. From a homeless man, to a handicapped lady, to a pair of young voters and an everyday guy, we get a glimpse of what the American people were really thinking and feeling on this important day.
