THE LAST CAMPAIGN
2005 107 minutes Wayne Ewing Productions
www.thelastcampaign.com
2005 International Documentary Association Distinguished Documentary Achievement Awards Nominee - feature length category
A unique documentary that combines footage from Mr. Ewing's first film, "If Elected" (1972) that profiled WV politician Warren McGraw's Raleigh County race against coal mine owner Tracy Hylton with footage of McGraw's primary and general election races in 2004.
The overwhelming power of corporate money in contemporary elections is shown. McGraw beat Hylton when he was outspent 10 to 1. In 2004 he lost when he was outspent 100 to 1. These funds were spent airing the meanest attack ads in American political history.
