TOUCH THE BOULDER
This award winning documentary follows the one-of-a-kind 2018 race for the House seat in Ohio's rural 80th district. The two candidates, both political newcomers, couldn't be more different.
DJ Byrnes is a former sports blogger and erratic iconoclast, running on a progressive platform in a ruby red district. His opponent, Jena Powell, is a 24 year-old christian conservative who just won a very contentious primary with the support of a corrupt political machine within the Ohio republican party.
In his moonshot campaign, DJ seeks to answer what government is for, why state politics matter, and whether or not it's possible to challenge the Goliath of entrenched power.
