DESCRIPTION:Jan 16, 2009\n\n7 PM and 9:30 PM  Admission: $5.00\n\nCrawford\n\nThe 
 weekend before the inauguration, come on out to MOBS to bid farewell to 
 George W. Bush with this doc!  When this premiered at SXSW, not only did it 
 play to a sold-out crowd of 1200, but received a standing ovation.  \n\nIn 
 1999, then Governor George W. Bush bought a ranch in the one-stoplight town 
 of Crawford, Texas, calling it “home” just in time to set his sights on 
 the White House. Having invented Bush’s “folksy image,” the 
 campaign’s victory thrusts Crawford onto the world stage and an insular 
 community of barely 700 explodes overnight.\n\nWhile the high school band 
 plays the inauguration and the Baptist pastor declares a miracle, 
 Crawfordites sell souvenirs hand over fist, finding themselves nearly 
 trampled under the heels of the international press corps, patriotic 
 tourists and boomtown opportunists. Then, four and a half years into 
 Bush’s tenure, Cindy Sheehan and her peace movement arrive at the 
 doorstep of the “Western White House.” Crawford takes center 
 stage.\n\nAs 20,000 impassioned protesters and counter-protesters battle on 
 Crawford’s tiny streets, the symbol of the “small town” begins to 
 change. Exacerbated tensions place pressure on the community as well as on 
 the liberties Americans take for granted. And after seven years of this 
 political stagecraft, a President’s and a community’s choices have an 
 even graver human impact. Left to deal with the aftermath, the real people 
 of Crawford are changed forever.\n\n"A poignant account… populated with 
 colorful, contrasting characters…" - Variety\n\n"A richly compelling 
 microcosmic portrait." - Premiere Magazine\n\n"Vital…Engaging…Crawford 
 has the potential to disrupt narratives and change the way people think." 
 Actor Jake Gyllenhaal\n\n
