VIDEO:  Groovy Politicians (Film Your Issue)
 
 
My name is Jessie Stone, I'm 21 and a senior in Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS. I made this film because it has been fascinating watching news coverage over the 2008 presidential elections. There seems to have been a shift from judging candidates based on their ideas, to judging them based on personal character, attire, and showmanship.
