Tomato Republic (2014)
A flamboyant restaurateur, a good ol' boy and a political ingénue, walk into a small town political contest and compete head to head to head, for the non-paid mayoral seat of the Tomato Republic. What happens next is anyones guess. The only thing that could slow this race down is a freight train. Let the takeover begin. - Written by Whitney Graham Carter

Review by-Jarrett Leahy Jacksonville, TX is a sleepy little East Texas town located thirty miles south of Tyler, TX. Best known for their tomatoes (and what seems like the near constant rustle and moan of the freight trains that barrel through the center of town every hour, day and night), it would seem that Jacksonville would be one of the last places you’d find a progressive, forward-looking mayoral election. But last year, when an outgoing, gay restaurant owner and a young African-American political science graduate decided to run again the good ol’ boy incumbent, this small Texas town became a metaphor for the ever-changing landscape of the country.
