I heard of him long before I watched anything political except maybe some supreme court judge nominations that I watched. I think he is fantastic for bringing light to political causes.

Roger and Me was groundbreaking.

Name another independent filmmaker, who has done as much good in bringing political messages to the movie world audience.

And no, he is not making a dog whistle. You have to really be projecting to see that in my opinion. He is a progressive, they support gay rights wholeheartedly.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
