When Chas Potter does something about his concern for our country and the challenges facing it, he gets a response from a United States senator who has had enough and comes to pay a (not so) friendly visit. The confrontation is stunning and stark. And hilarious.


Starring Academy Award winner Ernest Thompson and Emmy winner Gordon Clapp, with Lisa Bostnar.


Special Opportunity! Ever wondered what it would be like to hold a real Academy Award statuette in your hands? Now is your chance! Ernest Thompson has graciously offered to bring his Oscar to the screening.
