John Petrakis, Special to Chicago Tribune: Nov 21, 2003. pg. 4:

"Unprecedented" (***), which screens Sunday night at the Gene Siskel Film
Center, is a direct, organized 50-minute video about the maneuvers behind
the 2000 presidential election--specifically in Florida, which proved to be
the decisive battleground.
Co-directors Richard Ray Perez and Joan Sekler focus on Florida's Republican
Party, led by Gov. Jeb Bush (George W.'s brother) and Secretary of State
Katherine Harris, who had worked on George W. Bush's campaign. Some of the
alleged revelations are new, while others have been addressed before. They
include the purging of select voters from the registration rolls
(African-Americans and convicted felons), the cancellation of votes from key
districts (senior citizens confused by the butterfly ballot), the inclusion of
late absentee ballots (overseas servicemen who went strong for Bush), and the
role of the three Supreme Court justices.
In an attempt to suggest even-handedness, the filmmakers also castigate the
Gore campaign for choosing select counties for the recount, instead of
allowing the whole state to be recanvassed. Ironically, the video suggests,
this attempt to up the odds of his election proved to be Gore's ultimate
undoing.
At a scant 50 minutes, "Unprecedented" is unable to elaborate on the more
complex arguments or provide extensive rebuttal, but it is plenty long
enough to skewer the electoral process.
