इस फ़िल्म के बारे में जानकारी

From the Abramoff scandal to accusations Republicans stole the 2000 Presidency, American democracy has come in for a bit of a kicking in recent years. Its politicians appear in the pay of Big Business; its Constitution seems to be violated at whim. But is this warped, pessimistic view really correct? This week's offering is a surprising, positive film about US politics. It follows local Ohio boy, Tim Ryan, in his attempt to be elected to Congress. He has no money, no experience and no-one knows who he is. Despite this, he's taking on the combined might of the Republican and Democrat parties. Funny and insightful, 'Ryan for Congress' is an eye-opening look at American democracy in action.
