Sinopse
Town Hall casts an unflinching eye at Katy and John, two Tea Party activists who believe America's salvation lies in a return to true conservative values. In Katy, we see a political novice rocketed to media stardom after a sensational confrontation with her senator. And John, a retired businessman and lifelong Republican living in one of the poorest cities in the country, finds himself unable to afford his aging mother’s health care. John has to make difficult decisions that reveal the complicated relationship between his principles and the demands of his life. More than a political treatise, Town Hall is a tone poem that immerses the viewer in Katy and John’s world, painting a portrait of the fears of those who believe they will be left behind by a nation's transition.
