Grassroots (2012)
MOVIE SUMMARY:
A short-tempered, unemployed music critic who likes to dress as a polar bear thinks he can harness the power of the people to ride the monorail to political victory in Seattle. And he?s right. Almost. It?s before Twitter, before the flash mob, before Obama. It?s 2001, and political unknown Grant Cogswell decides he must take down Seattle City Councilman Richard McIver. Grant has only one dream, but it?s a big one: an elegant monorail gliding silently above the city?s wet streets, with only a tiny footprint ? "like a kids? lemonade stand!" ? on the ground. He is apoplectic with rage over McIver?s mass transit proposal: a ground rail train he thinks will destroy lower class neighborhoods, wreak environmental harm on the local salmon population, and destroy the city. In another angle we can say, After losing his job, a journalist reluctantly agrees to help his oddball friend with his bid to earn a seat on the Seattle City Council.
