Peter, I worked on a good doc that fits right in called GERRYMANDERING. I think the title is self explanitory. It focuses in particular on Texas, CA & NY and how the census redistricting was used for political advantage by both parties. Web site is here. http://www.gerrymanderingmovie.com/
I have posted on it a few times on videonews. You can buy it off the site. There is no retail copy yet but Passion River has one scheduled for mid-Oct. Since the film comes from the director it can be bought with lifetime PPR & streaming.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
