Documentary filmmaker Errol Morris (The Fog of War, The Thin Blue Line, A Brief History of Time) has started a web site called People in the Middle for Obama. He’s filmed a series of folks discussing why they’re voting for the Democratic contender:

Morris discusses the history of using real people in campaign commercials in this New York Times article:

Roger Ebert has said, “After twenty years of reviewing films, I haven’t found another filmmaker who intrigues me more…Errol Morris is like a magician, and as great a filmmaker as Hitchcock or Fellini.”
Favorites of mine by Morris include Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (which made the naked mole rate a celebrity animal) and Gates of Heaven (about a pet cemetary).
