His network asks him to cover another front: the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. There he meets Tina Santiago (Dawson), a single mother who challenges his convictions and his heart. Using real footage shot during the convention, THIS REVOLUTION gives a human face to radical political groups and the government's reaction to them. [More]

The fusion of fiction and independent journalism adds to the complexity of a story that exposes the 'news' as a narrative cowritten by the government and the TV networks.

It's the kind of engaged, political filmmaking that is rarely seen today, and it's a welcome and powerful addition to the canon.

Stephen Marshall's admirable but unfocused new film is set in New York City during the 2004 Republican National Convention.

Director Stephen Marshall is more activist than film theorist, prone to editorializing ('I'm certainly not going to sacrifice profits,' one journalist character sneers) without the equivalent of Wexler's formal rigor.

It's a pity that such vital, thought-provoking material has been rendered so lifeless and inauthentic on the screen.

Its fiction tale is shrill, lifeless and uninteresting.

Marshall's ambitions are admirable, but he falls short when it comes to wrapping the message in credible, compelling drama.

As any revolutionary knows, there's a big leap between theory and practice, and that leap proves too much for tyro helmer Stephen Marshall's This Revolution.

Marshall says he was inspired by the Haskell Wexler cult classic Medium Cool, filmed at the infamous 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. He has a lot to learn before he'll be anywhere near Wexler.
