DYLAN’S RUN is an eye-opening journey into American politics through the experiences of this charismatic, African-American Republican as he attempts to make history by winning a congressional seat in a white-majority district in the Deep South.
This feature-length documentary employs inside access to the campaign together with interviews and historical footage that tell a story in a manner that aligns incisive documentary reporting against the backdrop of a agrarian region left adrift in the current economic boom. It is a film that takes the pulse of race and politics in America at the turn of the century.
Reviews:
Variety - 11/25/2002 "Dylan's Run" provides an entertaining, often humorous look at the long hours of strategy sessions, glad-handing, speech-making and public pulse-taking that go into a modern U.S. campaign effort.”
Film Threat - 6/2003 “Steve Johnson and David Rosenthal’s riveting documentary following Georgia politician Dylan Glenn as he becomes the first black Republican to run for office in the Deep South since the Reconstruction.”
Atlanta Journal-Constitution – 6/2003 “The film is always interesting -- as much for its bead on the machinations of politics as for its clear-eyed take on Glenn's potential power.”
San Francisco Bay Guardian – 11/2002 “…even if you hate Republicans – this intriguing doc is well worth watching.”
