The Candidate

The Candidate

Nothing matters more than winning. Not even what you believe in.

Synopsis: Low-key, scathing political satire about an unlikely, idealistic senatorial candidate. Critically acclaimed for its dead-on attacks of politics and intelligent, still-resonant script. Perfect for fans of subtle, cerebral drama.
