Short description
Mock documentary about an upstart candidate for the U.S. Senate written and directed by actor Tim Robbins. Bob Roberts is a folksinger with a difference: He offers tunes that protest welfare chiselers, liberal whining, and the like. As the filmmakers follow his campaign, Robbins gives needle-sharp insight into the way candidates manipulate the media.
What's left behind the scenes

- Alan Rickman (1946-2016) invested his own money in the making of this Tim Robbins film.
- When Tim Robbins asked his actor friends to appear in his film, most of them expressed a desire to play news anchors.
