Feed

The film Feed is a documentary and comedy about running for President. The documentary begins with a testing screen on the television. While the testing screen is being shown, there is a man’s voice talking which turns out to be the voice of President Bush (Senior). Then it is cross cut to footage of angry people protesting Bush as President but then there are protesters who are supporting Bush there also. This symbolizes the split that was happening in America over the politics. Then the men running for president in hopes of taking over the presidential office after Bush were shown. The whole documentary basically consisted of cross cutting between the different candidates. Much of the footage is informal and unflattering of the men, which displays them in a very unprofessional light. The candidates consisted of Pat Buchanan, Bob Kerry, Jerry Brown, Tom Harkin, Paul Tosngas and President Bush. The footage is of the most of the men either freaking out about their hair or clothing before they go on air or they are having technical issues when on air, making them look laughable. The documentary portrays the business of politics as a joke and questions which men are real and which are performing in order to look good on the camera.
