| 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 |
