Here is what the critics are saying... 

“Grade A! Thrilling, haunting, perceptive and beautifully made.”

–Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

“Excellent! An Unreasonable Man is, like The Fog of War, one of those opportunities to step back, take a breath, and remember the seething power of recent history.”

-David Poland, Movie City News

An Unreasonable Man taps rare archival footage and more than forty diverse interviews to paint a complex portrait about the storied career of Ralph Nader. This two-hour film (which has garnered wide critical acclaim in recent weeks) uses Nader's harshest critics and most eloquent supporters to create a compelling and inspirational interpretation of Nader's life and of our times. Movie information, a preview, and downloadable flyers are available on the website www.anunreasonableman.com. See below for how to help promote the film.

What is i-chat?

I-chat is a live videoconferencing technology that allows people to speak to and see one another from remote locations. At the theater, Ralph will be on the movie screen and his answers broadcast over the sound system. The audience will ask him questions that he answers in real time. The i-chat Q&A will take place following the 7 pm screening on Saturday night.

An Unreasonable Man plays at the Orpheum Theater located at 216 State Street. Tickets, information, and directions are available online or by phone at 608-255-8755. In addition to Ralph’s Saturday Q&A, Friday night after the 7pm showing will feature Q&A with two prominent figures from the documentary: U-Wisconsin’s own Barry Burden, professor of political science, and organizer Jason Kafoury.
