Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Cockeymofo76 This documentary is amazing. The summary is posted above, read it. Right off the bat I you feel an emotional connection with Jeff Smith, and the feeling never subsides. The documentarians did a great job of connecting you right away with the protagonist, Smith, and never letting go. While the film seems personal you are alway getting a birds-eye view via local political commentators.This film shows you how a campaign is run on a grass roots level. This film shows you how American politics really runs. This film is what every documentary should be.Democrats and Republicans alike can love this political underdog story. 10/10 (not for people not interested in politics)
