As we count down to the pivotal 2008 election, many are questioning now more than ever the state of Democracy in America.

Do our voices matter? Can we make a difference? Should we care? "The Party’s Over" follows Philip Seymour Hoffman as a concerned citizen on an uncensored journey of the state of Democracy in America. The film examines how the American political process addresses, and often fails to address the country’s most pressing issues. Through it all, one question remains, is there a difference between the Democratic and Republican parties?

Hoffman is a genial host, skeptical interrogator and an increasingly cynical narrator and reporter of political luminaries, ordinary people and stars during a six-month, cross-country journey that begins with the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. The film includes behind-the-scenes footage of activists spanning left and right, from Susan Sarandon to Charlton Heston, Jesse Jackson to Pat Robertson, from Eddie Vedder to Willie Nelson and from Rudy Giuliani to Michael Moore.

No matter where they stand on the political spectrum, it is evident that the major concerns of everyday citizens have yet to be addressed. By juxtaposing what happened in the streets with what happened on the political stage, "The Party’s Over" reveals a gulf between campaign rhetoric and reality.

“Structured around visits to the two major conventions, the documentary is adept at contrasting these restricted, made-for-television events with the grittier world outside of protests and shadow conventions.” - Kevin Crust/ Los Angeles Times - Review
