What An Unreasonable Man Is About

The documentary follows the life and career of Ralph Nader, the political activist counted as the founder of modern consumer protection. His campaign for car safety, the federal requirements for seat belts and air bags, and the invasion of privacy suit he brought against General Motors made him a national figure. The film starts there and comes to what both his defenders and his former allies came to think of him over the years; on the question of his presidential campaigns both sides speak, and rather than taking a position the documentary makes that split its subject. Henriette Mantel and Steve Skrovan directed. The hundred and twenty-two minute film takes its title from Bernard Shaw’s line about the unreasonable man.
