“After decades of quiet living, Mike Gravel, known for courageously reading the Pentagon Papers into Congressional Record in the ‘70s, comes out of retirement when a group of teenagers convince him to run for president,” reads the official synopsis. “Through Senator Gravel’s official Twitter account, the Gravel teens embark on an unlikely adventure to qualify him for the Democratic debates in order to advance an anti-war, anti-corruption agenda in the 2020 presidential race. Director Skye Wallin shines an uplifting light on how Gen Z is changing politics as we know it with nothing but social media and hope for a better future.”
