Brilliant, Moving Filmaking

This documentary is one of the most outstanding pieces of gonzo journalism I have seen in a very long time, she captures the most intense emotion, something it is hard to some across in the build up to elections in British politics. She uses the right amount of personal stories and captures the very pre- election atmosphere in the constituency, which was one of the most hotly contested at the 2010 vote. If you like controversy, bitter rivalries and moving emotions then this is the film for you, action packed form start to finish and beautifully conveyed through some wonderful film making.
