Farah and her friends K.J. and Roopa follow the campaign trail across historic Route 66 on their way to Ohio, the central battleground state of 2004, seizing control of this charged moment in their lives and the life of their country. Roopa aspires to a job in politics, K.J. brawls her way through a personal motivation to end the war in Iraq, and Farah struggles to locate not just her desirability, but her desire. Though they\u2019re advised to focus on \u201cpurple\u201d states where Kerry stands a chance of winning, they naively campaign in states like Texas. We know how the election turns out\u2013but will Farah meet her personal goal for their American odyssey?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/prod3.agileticketing.net\/images\/user\/cfi_2450\/farahgoesbang_tkt.jpg\" alt=\"farahgoesbang_tkt.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">contributors<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>cast\u00a0<\/strong>Nikohl Boosheri,\u00a0Kandis Erickson,\u00a0Kiran Deol,\u00a0Michael Steger,\u00a0Samrat Chakrabarti,\u00a0Lyman Ward<br \/>\n<strong>director\u00a0<\/strong>Meera Menon<br \/>\n<strong>producers<\/strong>\u00a0Laura Goode,\u00a0Danielle Firoozi,\u00a0Erica Fishman,\u00a0Liz Singh<br \/>\n<strong>screenwriters\u00a0<\/strong>Meera Menon,\u00a0Laura Goode<br \/>\n<strong>cinematographer<\/strong>\u00a0Paul Gleason<br \/>\n<strong>editors<\/strong>\u00a0Meera Menon,\u00a0Kate Hickey<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">summary review<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nFunny, interesting, filled with a number of interesting themes and ideas.
