Why It's FilmBuff
Having been fans of Thomas Frank’s book, as soon as we heard about a documentary called WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS? we had the sense it would be for us. Sure enough, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS? turned out to be an incredibly stimulating, thought provoking and engaging look at recent political trends in Kansas and uses the realities there to examine the national political climate. The film shows how Kansas transformed from an outpost of radicalism to a bastion of hard-core conservatism. We’re very focused on encouraging conversation and confident that this film will create an inspiring dialogue for audiences.
