• What's In This Election For 15-Year-Olds?

  October 31, 2008

  Here's our newest generation – they can't yet vote, but they sure want you to -- and wonder why would you not in a time like this! Lucia is concerned about the economy. She's concerned about financial aid for college, and not having time with her parents since they have to work all the time. Lesly is ready for change - a new start, a new age in America where we all get focused and get our national priorities in order. They're both excited about the possibilities.

• GOT DOCS? 18 in '08

  October 4, 2008

  The youth vote. Much touted when it turns out, much maligned when it doesn't. If the democratic primary is any indication, young people will be turning out en masse in this year's presidential election. This week's GOT DOCS? is from a 19 year old who acted on his frustration that his generation wasn't turning out en mass for the 2004 vote. He ended up with a film, and 23,000 newly registered voters. David Burstein is a 19 year old filmmaker who decided to make a documentary about the youth vote and why it matters.
