"State of Change" is a 23-minute long documentary montage profiling Barack Obama's greatest state victory on his path to the Democratic Presidential nomination. Few states are as conservative as Idaho. So when the 2008 Presidential Caucus broke several records, it drew attention from around the country. Idaho provided Obama with the largest margin of victory of any state during the entire primary season -- nearly 80 percent statewide. The Ada County Democratic Caucus in Boise was one of the single largest caucus sites in the nation this year. With an attendance of more than 8,000 people, it was also the largest-known caucus in Idaho history -- quadrupling the attendance from 2004. In fact, more than 1,600 people could not get inside Boise's downtown hockey arena and had to caucus outside. "State of Change" features conversations with 17 voters about some of the factors motivating that enormous turnout -- including a previous visit from Obama, the youth vote, and the overwhelming desire for change.
