Please Vote For Me - Pre Thoughts

Please Vote For Me is a 2007 Chinese documentery set in an elementary school in Wuhan, China. Supposedly, the documentary is about the introduction of Democracy to a class of 3rd graders. Modern China, of course, is a Communist nation; this means that the government is led by a single party state and no public voting occurs. The idea of this film is quite interesting because I have never heard of anything like this ever happening or taking place. It's almost as if the producers of this film are "experimenting" a whole new political system on these kids for a week. In Please Vote For Me, three randomly selected students become candidates and must capaign themselves to win over the votes of their classmates. I think I'm really going to enjoy seeing how this film progresses. My main question is, "Is this idea actually going to work?". This is the perfect foreign film to allow me to make a cultural bridge. I know a sufficient amount of basic and general information about China already, but I think Please Vote For Me is going to expose me to even more of an understanding of China and it's communistic political system and government. I look forward to blogging about this film after I have finished watching it!
