HT2FF film 'Patriocracy' and NPR's Ken Rudin

Just in time before the April 24 New York State presidential primary, the fifth annual Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival has scheduled a screening on Saturday, April 21, of the provocative political documentary “Patriocracy,” followed by a discussion led by National Public Radio’s political editor Ken Rudin, who appears in the film.

It all takes place at 8 p.m. at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, with a $15 donation requested at the door.

 “Patriocracy” is an hour-long documentary which offers a non-partisan examination of Washington dysfunction and the hyperpartisanship which is undermining America’s ability to tackle its most serious problems.
