When an out-of-work actor accidentally discovers through Facebook that he's been wildly famous in a faraway land for almost two decades, he sets out to discover the reasons why. SLAUGHTER NICK FOR PRESIDENT is a behind-the-scenes look at the entertainment biz and a heart-warming tale of redemption that reveals little-known facts about the extraordinary peaceful overthrow of a brutal dictator. Written by Liza Vespi
What do a Canadian B TV show, a dissident Eastern European punk rock band, and the yearnings for freedom and democracy of an Eastern European population traumatized by genocide and post-cold war cultural fugue, all have in common? Well, Canadian actor Rob Stewart, apparently! Though it would require two decades for him to become aware of the fact, Rob, or rather his TV character, Nick Slaughter, had become a cultural and eventually a political icon in post-Tito Serbia. Remind you of 'Searching for Sugar Man'? It should, they were both released in 2012? Why did Sugar Man get so much promotion and acclaim while Slaughter has remained relatively unknown? No idea. But while they are quite different, they are equally wonderful.
