Synopsis

In the summer of 2009, protests erupt across the United States following Barack Obama's election. Citizens rally against the Democratic congress's agenda, questioning its legitimacy.

Directed by Taki Oldham, *Astro Turf Wars* investigates these events and their effects on democracy and public discourse. The film runs for 91 minutes.
