SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Please Vote For Me"
DESCRIPTION:"\rFilm Screening\r(Weijun Chen, 2007, 55 min.)\r\rAn experiment in electoral politics, as it was conducted in a third-grade classroom in Wuhan, China, is the subject of \"Please Vote For Me.\" During the course of the film, the selection of the class monitor, normally appointed by the teacher, is subjected to the democratic process to hilarious, occasionally traumatic, and always thought-provoking results. Screened in the wake of the 2008 U.S. presidential election, this film is part of the Why Democracy project, an international collaboration that provides supplementary materials online. Note: Discussion with special guest TBA.\rClayton Dube (University of Southern California) reviews \"Please Vote For Me\" in AEMS News and Reviews (Fall 2008).\r\rThis series of public film screenings and lecture/discussion programs is organized by the Asian Educational Media Service (AEMS) at the Center for East Asian & Pacific Studies. It is planned in collaboration with the Spurlock Museum and presented in the Knight Auditorium. Among the films offered for discussion this year, several were chosen with the exhibit \"Children Just Like Me\" in mind because of the meaningful and often dramatic ways in which they focus on youth and childhood experiences. Guest scholars and members of the campus and C-U communities will introduce the films and lead post-screening audience discussions.\r"
