18 in '08
is a campaign to get young people registered to vote and incite their passion to get involved in the election process. The documentary film was created by David Burstein, 18 years of age himself, who after the 2004 election felt there was not enough impact by young voters. With the upcoming 2008 election, David hopes that the film and the movement will generate discussion and galvanize the young people of this country to exercise their right to vote.
