"Problem Solving the Republic" Extreme Political Satire
"Problem Solving the Republic," shows an America full of superheroes and government villains. The musical satire is shown by film producer Brandon Van Vliet + we see "If This Is A Dream." It's a fine example of independent movie makers sharing their perspectives from outside the limits of Hollywood, happily shared with Tyrel Ventura on Buzzsaw.
