Review of Voices Without a Vote

This hybrid commentary/news feature is fascinating. We've heard from undecided voters but to hear from non voters puts this election and the democratic process in a new --and not so flattering-- light. Producer Rebecca Moon talks to non-voting mill workers in North Carolina. To hear these men, who sound just like John Edwards, speak so cynically about politicians and the presidency is eerie and funny and sad. This piece does an amazing job of leaving you feeling both hopeless and inspired. This is a great piece to play on election day and any day until then. It would be a great ME and/or ATC drop in.
