| Summary: | When Louis Ortiz shaved off his goatee one day in 2008, his life changed forever. He looked in the mirror and he didn't see himself - a middle-aged, unemployed Puerto Rican father from the Bronx. He saw the face of change, of hope... of money. Bronx Obama tells the strange and improbable tale of a Barack Obama impersonator who tries to cash in on the look of a lifetime and chases a fevered American dream from opportunity to oblivion. An intricate and compelling documentary that deftly weaves together multiple narrative layers-the American Dream, surrealism, fatherhood, race relations, celebrity - VICE 9 out of 10... An achievement in tone, finding the perfect balance between thought-provoking and entertaining film. - The Arts Guild 4 out of 5... Hollywood itself couldn't have crafted a more perfectly sad story and equally deserved triumph. - We Got This Covered |
