Background
Director John Fitzgerald Keitel followed the Fred Karger Presidential campaign for more than two years as it crisscrossed the country. Keitel had documented Karger's efforts to save the Boom Boom Room, a historic gay bar in Laguna Beach, California. The award winning documentary Saving the Boom. Keitel captured hundreds of hours of campaigning and tied this together by interviewing young gay activists, like Belinda Carlisle's son James Duke Mason, about how Karger's campaign changed their lives.[2]
Synopsis

Over the next two and a half years, Fred shows one man's struggle to bring his and his community's voice into the Republican presidential primary. Fred captures Karger qualifying for a Fox News Debate and for CPAC, but being excluded from these.
