On a rainy November morning in 2004, Cleveland Heights filmmaker Laura Paglin grabbed her digital video camera and headed to a polling place in Cleveland’s Hough neighborhood to document the events of what would prove to be a momentous day, due to too few voting machines. After capturing some of the chaos, Paglin spotted Councilwoman Fannie Lewis walking across the parking lot, wearing a yellow plastic rain poncho. The filmmaker gave the feisty octogenarian a wireless microphone and kept her camera rolling.  ideastream’s David C. Barnett asked Laura Paglin how she decided to do the film in the first place.
