Directed by: James Ridgeway

RS: Not Rated

1992 Comedy

This laugh-out-loud funny documentary from Kevin Rafferty and James Ridgeway is an indispensable look at the twisted marriage of media and politics. The film links footage shot during the New Hampshire primary with intercepted satellite feeds of the candidates prepping to go on the air. "This is the real thing -- this isn't Dana Carvey," George Bush tells a TV crew. Bill Clinton pumps up a weary smile; Ross Perot talks dirty. And all contenders stare inanely at the camera before flashing what they hope will be an electable image. Vote Feed.
