All About Ann: Governor Richards of the Lone Star State
Directed by Keith Patterson and Phillip Schopper
USA, 2014
The unapologetically liberal All About Ann: Governor Richards of the Lone Star State profiles a species that’s harder to find in the real world today than fairies, unicorns, and vampires combined—the truly powerful Democratic politician in Texas.

Her goal: open the Treasurer’s office up to women and minorities. The result: lots and lots of money coming into the state of Texas.
A woman without fear and (perhaps more importantly) a natural comedienne,...
