What happens to the 705 residents of Crawford, Texas when George W. Bush moves to town?

Though I missed the much-talked-about screening at Netroots Nation in July, the good folks at Live Action Projects were nice enough to send me a preview copy of their excellent new documentary film Crawford.

The film is an wonderfully intimate portrait of a small Texas town as it rides the ups and downs of the Bush presidency. And with represention by Submarine Entertainment (Spellbound, Super Size Me, Control Room), Crawford is sure to get its fair share of attention.

From the website:

Crawford’s characters are by turns bizarre, entertaining and tragic. Shoved into the spotlight for political stagecraft, their insular town explodes, pushing a progressive teacher and her student to the brink — and beyond. Invaded and abandoned, Crawford booms and busts, like the Presidency itself.

Told through the eyes of Crawford’s characters, this is a fun, funny, and ultimately moving story. CRAWFORD is a microcosm of the Bush era — a feature-length documentary that offers a new and colorful way of looking at the last seven years.
