Scene Photo Two weeks before the election of Barack Obama, filmmaker Jeff Deutchman asked friends around the world to record their experiences on November 4th, a day that had become historic before it had even taken place. But this is more than a documentary film; creating a website that will become a library of the world’s view of the sea change in U.S. politics, Deutchman has created what he calls a “participatory documentary.”

Scene PhotoIn St. Louis and Austin, idealistic volunteers think they can change their red states blue; in Chicago long voter lines become even longer when Obama shows up to cast his own vote; in Alaska, children seem to be as invested in the election results as their parents. In Paris the discussion revolves around whether there could ever be a black president of France; in Dubai, Berlin, Geneva and New Delhi, expats express their emotions from a distance, while in Harlem a felon casts doubt on whether any of this will actually affect his own life.

Scene Photo As we approach the final announcement of Obama’s victory at night, what emerges is a portrait of how people choose to live through “history,” as the celebration of a new future becomes entangled with the universally visible tensions of the past, all played out on a global canvas.

11/4/08 Jeff Deutchman, 2010, USA; 70m
