Overview

Musician Max Frost lends his backing to a Senate candidate who wants to give 18-year-olds the right to vote, but he takes things a step further than expected. Inspired by their hero's words, Max's fans pressure their leaders into extending the vote to citizens as young as 15. Max and his followers capitalize on their might by bringing new issues to the fore, but, drunk on power, they soon take generational warfare to terrible extremes.

How It Feels

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

A wildly entertaining satire that rides the late-60s countercultural zeitgeist to its logical, and deliciously dark, extreme, where youthful rebellion meets the corrupting machinery of politics.
