Please Vote for Me is a thoroughly enjoyable Chinese documentary that sees a teacher of Year 3 announce elections for Class Monitor as a tool to teach democracy to her students. Through simple observational techniques and completely natural, charming characters, the documentary is always engaging and interesting. The frightening comparisons to our own voting process make for a great deal of humour. I can't wait to see this film again - it's outstanding.
9 on the DaveScale.
