Taste the Revolution

A revolution 25 years in the making, Daniel Klein’s long-gestating mockumentary stars two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali (“Moonlight,” “Green Book”) as an activist leader circa 2001 who plans a world summit to support his cause, only for things to go horribly, hilariously awry.A sharp and prescient film 25 years in the making, Taste the Revolution follows two aspiring filmmakers as they chronicle the story of charismatic, revolutionary Mac Laslow (Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, in his first-ever starring role) and a group of disillusioned college students drawn together to create a “World Summit” to counter the apathy of a privileged generation.Lured by the promise of free food and booze, hundreds of young people descend upon a borrowed country estate to drink, take drugs, have sex, and swap politics. As the organizers sink deeper into the logistical nightmare of managing a modern revolution, the filmmakers witness the group's loss of confidence in their ability to change the world.GUEST(S) ARE SCHEDULED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE FOR Q&A
