Vermin Supreme is a natural born activist, a challenger to the political establishment. His sometimes hilarious antics are themselves absurd but are integral in pointing out the not so humorous absurdities of standard politics. He has crafted a persona as an alternative candidate to the two-party system, a totalitarian anarchist, an overbearing leader of peace and love.

Steve Onderick does an incredible job bringing Vermin closer to home from the Internet where he first gained fame. There is an obvious intellectual intimacy that Mr. Onderick was able to cultivate with this otherwise wild character. And in this film, among scenes of protests and speeches, rallies and highjinks, we are also given a chance to get to know the man under the boot.
