New election brings back old problems
Assorted ramblings from the world of entertainment: n What better time than a new election to open old wounds. Filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman returns to the Mahoning Valley Friday for a screening of her documentary ‘‘Stealing America: Vote by Vote.’’ Narrated by actor Peter Coyote, the movie looks at some perceived voting irregularities that have occurred in different parts of the country, including Ohio, since 1996. Fadiman interviewed several Mahoning County residents about problems during the 2004 election, and Youngstown was one of the first cities where Fadiman screened the documentary after it was finished in 2006. ‘‘Stealing America’’ will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday at First Unitarian Universalist Church of Youngstown, 1105 Elm St., and the screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Fadiman. Admission is a $3 donation at the door.
