Summary
If you were impoverished and politically voiceless, ACORN hoped to change your mind. For 40 years, the community-organizing group sought to empower marginalized communities. Its critics, though, believed ACORN exemplified everything wrong with liberal ideals. Fueled by a YouTube video made by two young conservatives who posed as pimp and prostitute in a sting, ACORN's very existence came under fire. ACORN AND THE FIRESTORM goes beyond the 24-hour news cycle and cuts to the heart of the great political divide. Official Selection at the **Tribeca Film Festival**. Winner of the New Jersey Films Competition -American Truth Seeker Award at the **Montclair Film Festival**. *"The movie, directed by Reuben Atlas and Sam Pollard, makes the point that before any of the negative publicity, Acorn was an important voice for lower-income Americans." - Ben Kenigsberg, **The New York Times***
