NPR: A Little Town Called Crawford

A Little Town Called Crawford

It's just about lame-duck time (though some would argue we're there already), and the moviemakers have had eight years to work on their retrospectives.

There's been a lot of talk and billboards about Oliver Stone's W., but the one that has my eye is called Crawford. The documentary focuses on what happens to folks in the little Central Texas ranch town when George W. Bush, governor and candidate for president, decides to move in next door. The town becomes a battleground for rhetoric and protest as Bush wins the presidency and designates his home there as the Western White House, complete with official seal.

You can watch the film in full on Hulu, where it debuted today as the first festival film to have a major online premiere.
