Over the past months, thousands have questioned whether IDIOCRACY was actually a documentary. Re-discover Mike Judge’s incredibly prescient film, which has transcended its cult classic status to become a vibrant and essential facet of this election. Go behind the scenes with those involved with making it on October 4 at Cinema Detroit.

Private Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson), the definition of “average American,” is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program. Forgotten, he awakes five centuries in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed down that he’s easily the most intelligent person alive.

Our special one night show will be followed by a livestream of a post-screening conversation with director and writer Mike Judge and stars Maya Rudolph and Terry Crews. Audience members will be able to ask questions by using the hashtag #IdiocracyLive on social media. Also the League of Women Voters will be on hand to register anyone to vote that hasn’t already.
