Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Ian Inaba assembles compelling evidence to support his claim that African-Americans -- who are traditionally more likely to vote Democratic -- are being deliberately and systematically excluded from the political process. Rated: 3/5 Sep 22, 2006 Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News The movie includes a postscript about [McKinney's] loss, blaming it on more dirty tricks. That may be true, but it doesn't put the steam back in the film. Rated: 2/4 Sep 22, 2006 Full Review Melissa Levine Village Voice McKinney's basic truths remain convincing. Sep 19, 2006 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter American Blackout challenges assumptions about the disenfranchisement of African American voters... May 7, 2020 Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews The phrase 'Apartheid elections' is used more than once, and it certainly strikes a chord Rated: B Oct 25, 2008 Full Review Eric Lurio Greenwich Village Gazette The film is by far the most hypocritical thing I have seen in ages.

Katrina W This is not a documentary. A documentary records atcual events. This is a what if situation with actors. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Audience Member More of a documentary on Cynthia McKinney than anything else, this one certainly held more weight during George W.'s reign of this country than it does today. Informative, sure. Interesting, not really. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Im a big Doomsday preppersf fan, so I loved " American Blackout " Without power, it doesnt hurt for folks to have certain items on hand. I thought it was enlightening as opposed to fear mongering. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary should be mandatory. I'm disgusted by what I learned. And I'm doubly disgusted that this information is not common knowledge. Please rent it and watch. I watched on the recommendation of my cousin. Thanks George. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely interesting....... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member If you're a Democrat, Anti-Bush, or just plain hated the actions of the 2000 or 2004, this is perfect for you. I felt like a lot of the documentary was more focused on Cynthia McKinney and not so much giving information as to how and why black voters were denied the right to vote. Overall, it was a little bit of a yawner but informative. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
