An Unreasonable Man
(film)
An Unreasonable Man is a 2007 documentary film that traces the life and career of the political activist Ralph Nader.
In 1966, General Motors, the most powerful corporation in the world, sent private investigators to dig up dirt on Ralph Nader, an obscure thirty-two-year-old public interest lawyer, who had written a book critical of one of their cars, the Corvair. The scandal that ensued after the smear campaign was revealed, launched Ralph Nader into national prominence and established him as the leader of the modern Consumer Movement. Over the next thirty years and without ever holding public office, Nader built a legislative record that rivals any contemporary president. Many things we take for granted including seat belts, airbags, product labeling, no nukes, even the free ticket you get after being bumped from an overbooked flight are largely due to the efforts of Ralph Nader and his citizen groups. Yet today, when some people hear his name, they think of the man whom the Democrats allege cost them the Presidential election. However, to other people who hear his name, Nader evokes images of courage and integrity for his uncompromising willingness to support the Constitutional right of citizens to vote for a candidate of their choice, which forms the bedrock of free and democratic elections. After sustaining his popularity and effectiveness over an unprecedented amount of time, he now has become a pariah among some former friends and allies, and an even more admirable advocate of freedom among others.
