Flint Turns Purple

Purple States is a mini-documentary series about "a group of five randomly-selected American citizens following the campaign trail for the Washington Post." In this episode, "Elizabeth Gotsdiner, a college student, and Bert Sobanik, a displaced manufacturing worker, visit Flint...and get a look at an American town at rock bottom." It includes a "frank discussion of free markets and American safety nets. Elizabeth goes to a Michigan McCain rally and Bert meets Barack Obama, but neither come away uplifted by the experience."



The citizens' blogs and daily show can be found at www.purplestates.tv.
