Screening followed by Q&A with Connor Ratliff and his campaign team, moderated by Chris Gethard.

A gripping chronicle of the 2012 presidential election seen through the prism of independent candidate Connor Ratliff, whose entire platform is based on meeting the Constitutional age requirement. For this thrilling, behind-closed-doors account of his underdog campaign, Ratliff captures the raw, visceral ups-and-downs of his quixotic quest for the highest office in the land.

Ratliff's crack team of consultants—from able-minded press secretary Langan Kingsley to neophyte campaign manager Noah Forman and insubordinate pollster Will Hines—inject a savvy, energetic spirit of candor and spontaneity into the process of campaigning. Along the way, he debates Jimmy McMillan on live television and convinces a guest actor from the TV show Friends to be his running mate, but is it enough to win the White House?

A vivid document of a political moment whose truths ("I am old enough to be president") still ring in our ears. We caught up with Ratliff earlier in the year, and you can watch the interview here.

Q&A moderated by Chris Gethard.

Special guests include Nicole Drespel, Noah Forman, Keith Haskel, Kevin Hines, Will Hines, Langan Kingsley, Cathryn Mudon and Orlando Olier.

 

Part of our Campaign for the American Conversation series.
