Written By Patricia Cotter
Directed By Meeghan Holaway
“1980 (Or Why I’m Voting For John Anderson)” is a comedy about class, race, and the politics of hope. In 1980 it seemed that unknown congressman, John Anderson, might have a shot to be a contender for President. In a Boston campaign office, four very different (and very lost) people come together with a dream that their long-shot candidate will change their country and their lives.
