The Congressman
Post-Film Q&A with Writer/Director (and former U.S. Congressman) Robert Mrazek after the 5:30pm show on Sunday, May 1!
THE CONGRESSMAN is a film that understands the politics that’s dominated 2016 all too well. Treat Williams (PRINCE OF THE CITY) headlines a stellar cast as Maine Congressman Charlie Winship, who’s having a bad day. After being caught on video refusing to stand and recite the pledge of allegiance, he knocks out another House member, confronts his angry ex-wife, and faces denunciation by the media for attacking one of the most cherished patriotic symbols in America. As his life spirals out of control, Charlie embarks on a journey to a remote Maine island whose eccentric inhabitants are in the middle of a shooting war in defense of their fishing grounds. A humorous and moving film with the smell of the Maine coast that raises the important question of what it means to be an American.
