影片梗概｜Synopsis
湖北潜江教师姚立法以独立候选人身份参加2006年基层人大代表换届选举。影片记录他向普通人普及选举法、依法争取参选权利的过程，也记录媒体、选民和相关机构的不同反应。一次基层竞选由此成为中国民间选举意识与公民权利意识萌动的肖像。
Yao Lifa, a teacher in Qianjiang, Hubei, runs as an independent candidate in the 2006 local people’s congress election. The film follows him as he explains election law to ordinary citizens and attempts to exercise his legal right to stand for office, while media, voters and officials respond in different ways. His campaign becomes a portrait of emerging grassroots awareness of electoral and civil rights.
