Spitball Army

This is the cinematic equivalent of one of those “A Day in the Life of America” books, where photographers set up at various locales and document a discrete 24-hour period through pictures. Except… This is a video document of about a dozen “average” people in Massachusetts, Alabama, Hawaii, and other scattered American places on the day the U.S. electorate turned the political system upside-down. As a raw document, it is essential. It is also balanced, but maybe too close temporally to not hurt like a toothbrush handle shoved into one’s eye.
