CRAWFORD--This is the political documentary of the year, vital, engaging, folksy, a deeply-committed look at what happens to the 705 residents of Crawford, Texas, when George HW Bush moves to town. Just in time for the RNC!
"... A breathtaking film, a must-see of this year's docs." -- Richard Linklater
"A poignant account ... populated with colorful, contrasting characters." -- Variety
"It's about the town's compelling characters, not just about GWB, and looks at both sides. One of the best documentaries among many I had seen this year." -- Programmer Al Milgrom -- "Specifically good for 'budding' doc filmmakers."
Newcomer independent filmmaker David Modigliani intersects the personal and political in this prizewinning portrait of an indigenous America, seldom before seen by the media. Modigliani will present the film nightly with a Q&A following.
