Vote first. Ask questions later.
Directed by Tim Robbins

A sharp-edged mockumentary that uses irreverent satire and formal ambiguity to expose the machinery of political manipulation and media deception.
Millionaire conservative Bob Roberts launches an insurgent campaign against incumbent senator Brickley Paiste, firing up crowds at his rallies by singing '60s-style acoustic folk songs with lyrics espousing far-right conservative social and economic views.
