An Unreasonable Man

"6 STARS (highest rating)! A chronicle of democracy in decay that stands in relation to American government as An Inconvenient Truth did to the world climate." - Time Out Chicago

"CRITIC'S CHOICE! Thoroughly involving!" - Chicago Reader

The name Ralph Nader sparks fiery debate among people across the country. No matter what you think of the man, the fact remains that he is a tireless crusader. Hailing from modest means in small-town Connecticut, Nader rose to prominence during the seventies as a consumer rights' activist. This exhaustive and potently charged film includes well-placed archival footage and newly shot interviews with Nader himself. Numerous extended interviews with former colleagues, supporters, and family members allow the riveting, dramatic story to unfold. The film begs the question, when do we speak for what is right without compromise, and when do we surrender one battle for the sake of the war? – Sundance Film Festival (2006, Henriette Mantel and Stephen Skrovan, USA, 122m)
