Rooftop Films and Rumur Inc., the filmmakers behind Horns and Halos, announce the release of six webisodes about the poet Sparrow and his fifth attempt to lose the presidential election. The comedic documentary series can be seen here and at www.sparrowforprez.com.
Sparrow is a poet who has run for President the last 4 election cycles. In 1996 he ran as a revolutionary communist within the structure of the Republican Party and lived to write a book about it, “Republican Like Me”. A cross between Lenny Bruce and Stephen Wright, Sparrow doesn’t really want you to vote for him but he likes having a reason to speak on your behalf.
As a country we need Sparrow. We certainly don’t want him to run anything but we need him now, just as the 1850’s needed Walt Whitman, to force us to look at our political system with a new perspective. Sparrow speaks truth to those not in power, and if enough people listen power might have to pay attention.
