Synopsis
Courting Condi is the world's first musical docu-tragi-comedy. Part Borat, part Fahrenheit 9/11, and part Mamma Mia, it follows a love-struck soul, Devin Ratray, a struggling musician, former child actor (famed as Buzz in Home Alone) on a quest to woo Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Devin travels the country, learning the true story of Condi as one of our era's most inspiring, enigmatic, and controversial figures. With hilarious cameos by Adrian Grenier, Jim Norton and Frank Luntz, this film is both timely and a classic love story, punctuated by timeless songs written by two time Oscar winner Carol Connors, and Grammy winner Steve Earle.

Reviews
"Witty, poetic and informative. It’s amazing how much of Rice’s life story is in the film.”
-- Marcus Mabry, The New York Times.
"A wildly inventive, surreal satire that brilliantly accomplishes its goal of entertaining, educating and exposing the dark side of a prominent national figure at once. It may even be the first time a musical comedy has inspired the impeachment of a high-ranking politician."
-Adam Rodriguez, Socially Superlative
“After viewing Courting Condi, it’s almost impossible to believe that the truth about Condoleezza Rice hasn’t been spilled all over newspaper pages across the country."
– The Mammoth Times.
"A clever, hard-hitting critical documentary that sneaks under the wire."
-- Honolulu Weekly
“A roller-coaster ride from comedy to astonishment.”
– The Beverly Hills Courier
