6.7/10
While Convention may be more traditional documentary fare in content than his last film, A.J. Schnack is not without a new trick up his sleeve: a collaborative documentary made with a group of documentarians, each with his/her own assignment.

11/19/2009 Chantal is the star of the show! 2nd billing goes to Denver, which looks great. The humanity and decency of the people who made the 2008 Democratic Convention a success is on display - too bad somebody made the decision to turn Denver into an armed camp at the same time.
