The Sociology Film Series Presents: The Youngest Candidate


Tuesday, October 28th, 6-9pm in 8-300 Please save the date and plan to join us for a screening of The Youngest Candidate. Film-maker Jason Pollock will be here to screen his documentary about the experiences of four teenagers who ran for public office.

The Youngest Candidate follows the story of four teens who ran for public office in America. Funny, inspiring, poignant and ultimately uplifting, it is the coming-of-age story of four idealistic young adults who dared to confront the corrupt political systems in America. Through their journey these young candidates learn about fair play, leadership development, racism in politics, the importance of family and many other lessons that they will carry with them throughout their lives. In the face of great adversity, they braved all the odds to make it to Election Day and showed that regardless of the outcome, it didn't matter. It's all about how you play the game.


Please encourage students to attend this important and relevant event. Hope to see you there!
