that follows Jeff Smith's campaign (hence the title) against Russ Carnahan for the seat in Congress vacated by Dick Gephardt.

It is coming out on Netflix in August. You can review it and add it to your queue now.

I never had been involved in making a film before this one. I was, and still am, just a grassroots field organizer for Quixotic political campaigns.

A filmmaker came to us in the middle of a campaign and asked to film it. We needed free footage for ads so we let him film. When we got done and looked at the footage, we realized that there was an amazing story about our broken political system that we had to tell. The film is the result of that.

We need help getting the film in the hands of political activists. Ideas on how to do that are greatly appreciated.
