Holler Back is a documentary taking place in LeHigh County, Pennsylvania, during the final three days before the 2004 presidential election. It’s predicted to be one of the tightest races in the country – a swing county in a swing state that could turn the election and might end up being as close as the famed Florida counties of the 2000 election. With the race in a dead heat, Allentown – the county seat – has become the center of a political firestorm. Progressives from out of state have mobilized against local conservatives in a fierce battle of organizational skill and stamina that extends beyond the political and becomes profoundly personal. But in the midst of this intense door-to-door combat that could determine the presidency, almost 40% of those eligible won’t even vote. This film explores their stories: Why they don’t participate. How they feel about the process. And what it would take for them to become part of “The World’s Greatest Democracy”.
