Roseanne for President (Trailer)

July 4, 2016

Here I go… Running for President…
I’m the only serious comedian in this race…
I wasn’t shut up by networks… I won’t be shut up here…
– Roseanne Barr

Yep. Rosanne is making a run for the White House for real. She is seriously on the campaign trail, and why, even at first glance, is that any more ridiculous than a Trump 2016 run?

Follow comedy legend Roseanne Barr as she embarks on a wild, hilarious, and impassioned campaign for the highest office in the land. It’s 2012 and Barr, fed up with corporate influence in politics, takes matters into her own hands when she launches a third-party Presidential bid founded on grassroots activism. Hitting the campaign trail, the sarcastic, opinionated, and outspoken Barr makes for a candidate unlike any other as she brings her message to the people. Featuring appearances from Michael Moore, Sandra Bernhard, Rosie O’Donnell, and others close to Barr, Roseanne for President! is both a rousing David vs. Goliath tale and a revealing portrait of a cultural icon.
– IFC Films

Now, of course, Rosanne is a comedian first; so there will surely be ‘funny’ in here. But this trailer is teasing an underlying story that looks to make you do a second take. Watch.

(Due out July 1, 2016.)
