About the Film

A documentary by a New York City Democrat about an evangelical rural Republican.

After his conversation with Hillary Clinton goes viral and makes him a political celebrity, unemployed coal miner Bo Copley runs for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in West Virginia. As his long-shot campaign continues, Copley fights not only to pull off a monumental upset, but also to validate his own sense of self-worth after two years of unemployment.
