I was an editor and one of sixteen directors on this film about Election Day 2016. In the hours before Trump’s unexpected victory, a cross-section of Americans, on both sides of the aisle, live through history. “11/8/16” is a portrait of American democracy in all its chaotic glory. As a director, I followed a community organizer and DREAMer named Jesus Ruiz in San Jose, California.
“The huge political and social divide is in full evidence, but the strength of the doc is that it shows that those sides aren’t as monolithic as the red and blue blocks on electoral maps suggest.”
“The editing here, by Jon Lefkovitz and Martha Shane, sets a speedy pace and keeps the focus on the voters rather than on Clinton and Trump, who are seldom seen.”
