A timely revisiting of AL FRANKEN: GOD SPOKE

• by Raphaela Neihausen, April 15, 2009

As Al Franken awaits a court verdict to determine his status as Minnesota’s senator, it was perfect timing to revisit the film AL FRANKEN: GOD SPOKE. Directors Nick Doob and Chris Hegedus joined us for a memorable screening of Franken’s transformation from no-holds-barred comedy to politics.  The screening proved extra timely since this week there were new developments in his journey to the senate.  For the latest on Franken’s career, visit http://www.alfranken.com/ and to read a full review of the STF screening, read Karina Longworth’s piece on SpoutBlog.
