by Kip Oebanda
A teacher pays an increasingly steep price for defending the democratic process of the election.
SYNOPSIS :
During the 2007 elections, a former sexy star and a land-grabbing tycoon are in a tight race for mayor. Emmy, a strict yet popular teacher in a small town, is assigned to the Board of Election Inspectors for her local precinct. When violence erupts, she runs into the forest with a ballot box containing the last
