Within hours, kids' spontaneous reactions to the new situation give way to campaign strategies, psychological manipulations and dirty tricks, greatly enabled by their parents' spin-doctoring. Adorable and horrifying in equal measure, pic garnered the top prize at SilverDocs before airing globally as part of the "Why Democracy?" project. At a time when the exportation of democracy serves as a rationale for war, "Please Vote for Me" attains must-see status. </B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117935276.html?categoryid=31&cs=1&nid=2562">Pic presents a fascinating mix of the exotic and the familiar as democracy 
springs, full-blown, out of a void and into the mouths of babes. Shots of 
students lined up outdoors, doing calisthenics or singing patriotic songs 
conjure up old images of Red China</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E20253A5-2BDB-42B4-B07B-0DC609D8B1D0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
