Summary
"Starting in his hometown of Trenton, N. J., filmmaker Kevin J. Williams journeys over four years and two presidential elections to find out if the two-party political system is failing his city and the country. In taking a self-critical look at his own Republican Party and speaking with both Democrats and Republicans, Williams focuses his camera on the GOP's efforts in urban areas versus the suburbs, the Democratic Party's success in retaining the African-American vote and what it means to be a 'Black Republican'"--Container.
