Three eight-year old students-a charismatic challenger, a ruthless incumbent, and a thoughtful outsider- all campaign for the coveted position of class monitor in a third grade classroom in Wuhan China. Hot debates. Backstabbing. Alliances. Experience the new age, learn about the connection between parents & the child in China today. “還記得小時候的那些事嗎？今天中國的孩子們在做什麽呢？ “請投我一票”講述一群8歲的小學生為競選班長參與的“民主實驗”。三位競選候選人各出奇謀，迅速掌握了爭取選票的“技巧”：激辯，結盟，拉票，暗算，空頭諾言和行賄……幼年的政客在成長—一部讓你捧腹大笑又發人深省的影片。我們通過此片了解民主的實踐和中國獨生子女的新新人類文化，並從中體驗華人家庭關係的轉變。本片得到了《華盛頓郵報》和白銀電影節主席Patricia Finneran的高度評價-”這是一部非常精彩的片子”。（建議學校組織家長和學生共同觀賞影片）。Free and open to the public, reserve your seat here: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/73338357 Read More »
