About
In 2016, Sarah Smith challenged 22-year incumbent Rep. Adam Smith no relation in a two-year long Congressional campaign for Washingtons District 9. A Japanese film crew from NHK, Japans public broadcaster, joined the campaign team just shortly before her primary win against the Republican nominee, and followed her and her team throughout the campaign, all the way to her loss against Rep. Smith in the General.
This behind the scenes documentary covers three Progressive, Democratic Congressional hopefuls in very different parts of the United States: Linsey Fagan of Texas, Rick Ojeda of West Virginia, and Sarah Smith of Seattle, Washington. After the documentary, Seattles comedian with the best head shape Brett Hamil will be on hand to facilitate a lively, frank discussion touching on Seattles politicians and their politics, your questions, and a look into the future of progressive policies. Well talk about the national organizations that supported Sarahs campaign, like Brand New Congress and the Justice Democrats as well. But most importantly? Were collecting canned and other non-perishable food items for the Rainier Valley Food Bank!
Join us for an interesting night at Northwest Film Forum and bring a couple cans of food!
