Slaughter Nick for President (2012)

Slaughter Nick for President: Directed by Rob Stewart, Liza Vespi, Marc Vespi. With Milos Djuricic, Srdja Popovic, Rob Stewart, Marc Vespi. When an out-of-work actor accidentally discovers through Facebook that he’s been wildly famous in a faraway land for almost two decades, he sets out to discover the reasons why.

“What do a Canadian B TV show, a dissident Eastern European punk rock band, and the yearnings for freedom and democracy of an Eastern European population traumatized by genocide and post-cold war cultural fugue, all have in common? Well, Canadian actor Rob Stewart, apparently! Though it would require two decades for him to become aware of the fact, Rob, or rather his TV character, Nick Slaughter, had become a cultural and eventually a political icon in post-Tito Serbia. Remind you of u0026#39;Searching for Sugar Manu0026#39;? It should, they were both released in 2012? Why did Sugar Man get so much promotion and acclaim while Slaughter has remained relatively unknown? No idea. But while they are quite different, they are equally wonderful.”
