Review of Please Vote for Me (2007) by Jason J — 20 Dec 2009

Democracy is alive and well in China....well in a primary school that is as 3 eight year olds go head to head in an election to be class monitor. It might not mean much to us but it doesn't stop the parents getting involved.

Just like politics in real life the candidates use dirty tactics with one fat loudmouth bullying for votes which backfires! I was rooting for the little girl as she was the underdog. The result of the election will hardly surprise you when one of them pulls a swerve just before voting.

I found this to be a fascinating documentary as an insight into another culture.
