Dear Dictator
She thought she was a rebel... Until she met a real one
Directed by Lisa Addario, Joe Syracuse
Produced by Cinedigm Entertainment, Hector Coup
A lighthearted comedy about an unlikely friendship between a deposed dictator and a rebellious teen, built on fish-out-of-water humor and the absurdist premise of applying revolutionary tactics to high school social hierarchies.
When political turmoil forces a British-Caribbean dictator to flee his island nation, he seeks refuge and hides with a rebellious teenage girl in suburban America, and ends up teaching the young teen how to start a revolution and overthrow the "mean girls" in her high school.
