Meticulously scrutinizing the chambers of the state capitol in Boise, Wiseman observes the transparent mechanisms within Idaho's congress of citizens who legislate part of the year and return to the citizenry for the remainder. Perhaps this accounts for their earnest and patient deliberation of the wide range of bills before them, including cattle tagging, tissue donation after death, electoral waste, mandatory kindergarten, "video voyeurism" and gay marriage. Marked by an oddly compelling absence of scandal or ineptitude, the extended, detailed scenes expose the passion of lobbyists, congress members and concerned citizens to reveal a calm, conscientious civility and sense that every individual's voice does appear to be articulated and heard. – BG
