SYNOPSIS
(continued)...
So how does this regular guy end up running as a Libertarian
Party candidate for president? What's it like to run a grassroots
third-party presidential campaign? And who are the Libertarians?
Gary Nolan is a member of a party whose creed is neither fish
nor fowl in the traditional conservative vs. liberal spectrum.
If Libertarian, you may be pro-choice but still think that Roe
v. Wade is for states to decide. You're fierce about balancing
the budget, but that's expected: in a Libertarian world taxes
will be a shadow of their current size. You want to legalize
marijuana. You're likely opposed to most gun laws, but still
argue for a vastly smaller military. And you also want to bring
the troops home…all of them.
From Dubuque to Denver, from Seattle to Saginaw, "Nolan's
Run" gives a rare view of American-style democracy up close
with the filmmaker granted personal access to the candidate. Full of candid and entertaining moments, this independent production – unaffiliated with the Nolan campaign or the Libertarian Party – enjoys footage from over 20 locations around the country. It's the story of politics off the grid of typical campaign reporting, a place where politicians and voters aren't just on the left or on the right.
In "Nolan's Run," viewers will find a world where the rubber chicken fundraisers come without chicken: just a bag of chips, and a cooler full of Bud. This is a world where the Presidential candidate's nightly crash pad is a roadside Motel 6, and where breakfast is a Big Mac in one hand and a steering wheel in the other. |
