How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A rollicking musical celebration of political idealism and the messy, funny human drama behind America's founding documents. It's theatrical and accessible, turning constitutional debate into song-and-dance spectacle.
