"The true story of the 2000 presidential heist."
The political landscape in the United States is perhaps the most controversial of all. It seems that with every election cycle we are told that this is the most important election of our generation. Both sides are sure that their candidate is the best and if the other side wins, US citizens are all in for some kind of disaster in the next 4-8 years. In 2000, the political spotlight shines on Miami because Dade County (where Miami is located) would be the deciding factor in the victory for George W. Bush. However, the international custody battle over six-year-old Elian Gonzalez causes a political earthquake and has a major impact on the outcome of the presidential election.
