What's at stake for young Americans in the November presidential election? Y*Vote '04 meets all kinds of young people - soldiers, students, immigrants, activists and stars - whose lives will change based on who wins the election. Y*Vote sent young journalists around America to report on what makes this election so important. They found a student in Durham, North Carolina, who joined the military to pay for college; a working mother in Houston, Texas, who can't afford health insurance; and a Pakistani-American in San Jose, California, who may get deported before he graduates from High School.
Working with groups committed to getting out the youth vote in '04 like Rock the Vote, Declare Yourself and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, Y*Vote premieres videos featuring Reese Witherspoon, Dave Mathews, Doug E. Fresh and more. Webcammers from across the US join host Nzinga Moore to find out why the youth vote could change the world.
