The Patriot

A wry, talky satire that ambles through one man's grandiose schemes, amusing more than it stings.

How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and whimsical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Politics, identity, power, ambition
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
