Description:
In this compelling political drama, we follow the story of millionaire Bob Roberts, a conservative figure who unexpectedly embarks on an insurgent campaign against incumbent senator Brickley Paiste. Instead of relying on traditional politicking, Roberts captures the attention of crowds with his unique approach - he performs '60s-style acoustic folk songs that express his far-right conservative social and economic views through their lyrics. This film masterfully weaves together themes of politics, music, and ideology, as it delves into the complex nature of modern political campaigns and the influence of public opinion on policy decisions.
