Deeply absorbing and moving with the caffeinated speed of Smith's own feisty campaign, "Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore?" is at once a celebration of small-d democracy and an elegy to it, a portrait that will surely inspire and infuriate viewers. And once they take this particular peek at how the sausage is made, with luck they'll want to start working on a new recipe. Washington Post
This award winning Film follows the U.S. Congressional race of Jeff Smith, a 29 year old part time political science teacher as he takes on Russ Carnahan, son of Missouri's most powerful political dynasty.
The odds against Jeff are long. He has no money, no name recognition and few political connections His own communication manager says that he looks "like he's 12 and sounds like he's castrated". Even his family dismisses him.
His staff is a hodge podge of political nobodies - mostly former students.
But thanks to Jeff's savvy and charisma he is able to mobilize an army of nearly 500 volunteers generating a youth-oriented grassroots insurgency that shocks the political establishment.

Who I'd like to meet:
People who want to help take our country back from the special interests and Washington elites who have hijacked our government.
