Our Fellow Countrymen (2005)

On the way to our Nation's Capital, the campaign trail takes an unexpected detour over the railroad tracks and off the paved road, to a quiet, rolling meadow. Here in the foothills of rural America, two blue-collar citizens trade social commentary and civil insults as deftly as their DC counterparts.

Meet Sam Jones and Ralph Smith - staunch supporters of their respective political affiliations, and fairly skilled in the art of one-upmanship. Against a pastoral backdrop steeped in patriotism and cow pies, Sam and Ralph make use of both while engaging in a neighborly exchange on the topics of the day. We invite you to bypass the bright lights and big promises of today's convention hype, and pay a visit to Sam and Ralph. You'll be glad you made the trip.
