Most of you don't know one of my sisters is an actress and Emmy winning writer and director. Her latest movie has just been accepted for Robert Redford's Sundance Movie Festival. Here's the review:
AN UNREASONABLE MAN
U.S.A., 2006, 155 Minutes, color
Director:
Henriette Mantel, Stephen Skrovan
Screenwriter:
Henriette Mantel, Stephen Skrovan
The name Ralph Nader sparks fiery debate among people across the country. To some, he is an icon of rare idealism, while others see him simply as the political spoiler of the last two elections. 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 without a family pedigree, Nader rose to prominence during the seventies as a consumer rights' activist. Over his lengthy career, he has impacted the public in countless ways. He has saved thousands of lives by initiating legislation ranging from seat-belt mandates for cars to food safety regulations. This well-documented film recounts his early days going up against General Motors and inspiring young liberal minds, who adopted the name "Nader's Raiders" to help fight unregulated corporations.
This exhaustive and potently charged film by Henriette Mantel and Stephen Skrovan 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. An Unreasonable Man skillfully dissects the life and work of an unparalleled human being. 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? America, it's your turn to vote.— Lisa Viola
