| a 21st Century First Step Towards Democracy |
The film, Please Vote For Me, is about a democratic experience in a communist Chinese school. Funny plot right? The whole thing takes place with three third graders running for class monitor. The film is done documentary style, which should make for some interesting viewing. Unlike in the two previous Mongolian films, this one is set in an urban setting, to be specific the city of Wuhan. Typically the position of class monitor is appointed by the teacher (think Mao appointing agricultural ministers), but with modern China flirting with democracy (and fully embracing capitalism, but that's another matter entirely) the teacher selected three students to run against one another in a mock democratic election. Again this should make for some interesting viewing.
