STORY:
We shot footage of Hillary Clinton supporters and Barack Obama fans in three U.S. cities: Washington, D.C., Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Los Angeles, California during the first week in May 2008 using only Flip usb cameras.
We interview members of Generation X/Y registered as a democrat, aged 18-35, about their political views. They are just getting the priviledge of voting or just beginning to become interested in politics or are veterans of previous presidential elections, but all in the age group of people who will shape the future of our America.
The timing is what leads up to the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, which are crucial to the presidential contenders. It will change the momentum of both camps and mark the beginning of the end where they will keep fighting to the bitter end: June 3.
