A short that began the 2002 Academy Awards. It was made by world renown documentarian Errol Morris. You may see some familiar faces in the piece including Al Sharpton, former presidential candidate Jerry Brown, and Wavy Gravy.
Why Laura Bush? Casting for contrast rather than fashion. It threw me off for a moment to, but reminded me that she is also human, and if cinema can move her, then there is hope...
Errol Morris could take a piss on a theater screen and I'd probably still watch it.

The great thing about independent films, is that you get the director's cut the first time!

If all the world's a stage(or a film), I want better lighting.
--- Life imitates film.
---- Television: That amazing appliance which, if left unplugged, stimulates conversation.
--- Movies sell popcorn, but films offer hope.

Does anyone know where you can watch the other short film by Errol Morris - "The Nominees"??? I think it opened the Academy Awards 2008...
