Nov 11, 2009 George Bush Jr. moves to Crawford,TX. to improve his image in hopes of getting into The White House right before election time.Wow See more Mar 25, 2009 A previous reviewer said it better than I ever could: "This film reflects the experience of America during the time of George W. Bush by showcasing the denizens of the president's 'home town' of Crawford, Texas during his administration. The town is a metaphor for the greater country. People live in fear; fear of foreign terrorists, yes, but even more fearful of each other, and of the crushing conservative dogma of loyalty no matter the cost. Relationships are strained, emotions boil over, and the town goes through a dangerous turn that divides neighbors and causes irreparable harm. This film does not take sides. It does not try to make Bush or his supporters look foolish; it gives them voice, while offering substantial time to opposing views, including those of activist Cindy Sheehan. The people of Crawford are interesting, their stories inspiring, entertaining, and sometimes moving. This film should be viewed as a time capsule of America during the W. Bush era, and viewed by future generations in that light. It would make a worthy addition to any history class." - Matt Gilbert See more Jan 27, 2009 Fantastic documentary about real people as opposed to the phony ones shown on TV.

See more Oct 10, 2008 A perfectly average documentary about how the small town of Crawford has dealt with having President Bush as a resident for the past eight years. I've seen better docs, but I've seen worse as well. See more Read all reviews
