Michael G A crash course in high stakes politics and fighting for what you believe in. This film takes you on-the-road with Charles Booker as he fights to win over Kentucky voters and reach a common ground between country side and city streets. In a world of corrupt politics, it's very moving to watch a humble politician try to do the right thing! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/22 Full Review Liz N I was on the jury for the Woods Hole Film Festival so was able to see it a few months ago. I really loved this movie. It's tight, emotional, beautifully shot and has a fantastic score. And the access is extraordinary. By showing the journey of Charles Booker in his attempt to win the US Senate Democratic primary in Kentucky and thus run against Mitch McConnell in the general election we get a glimpse into what hope in politics feels like in the modern era. I was moved to tears several times - which is big for me since I feel like I've seen a lot of political docs - but through careful direction and a truly remarkable main character we dare to actually believe he can speak truth to power. While it is super depressing that he loses (spoiler alert) it is still an extremely important story. I hope a LOT of people see this film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/22 Full Review Dunbar D This is an incredibly moving and inspiring film.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/22 Full Review Matt F hard hitting film that all voters should watch. A great story of a regular man going up against the political establishment in order to uplift the people of Kentucky. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/22 Full Review Karen K From the Hood to the Holler is a powerful and mesmerizing film about Charles Booker's 2020 inspirational journey from congressman to senator. Although clearly the underdog in the race, the film has you rooting for him and hoping that somehow, someway he will actually pull off the win. An absolute must see film about a truly dedicated, committed, hardworking and tenacious politician. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/22 Full Review Jeffery G Timely documentary about our political process and one man's quest to make a difference in his community. Heartwarming and emotionally charged, you'll become a fan of Charles Booker. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/22 Full Review Read all reviews
