“Town Hall” and the Tea Party

Tea Party member John, 2012.  From the documentary "Town Hall," directed by Sierra Pettengill and Jamila Wignot

Directors Sierra Pettengill and Jamila Wignot discuss their documentary “Town Hall,” which follows two impassioned Pennsylvania Tea Party activists in the lead-up to the 2012 election. They’re determined to restore their version of a theoretically “lost” America, but are faced with complicated, if not contradictory, decisions. It’s playing as part of DOC NYC November 17 and 20 at IFC Center.
