Description:
For years, the legendary Roseanne Barr was America’s most popular and beloved comedian. Her groundbreaking TV show, Roseanne, revived working class humor and earned legions of fans for America’s “domestic goddess.” Often political, Roseanne fearlessly addressed the issues of family, class, race, gender, and gay rights. In 2012, Roseanne Barr even ran for president. The Roseanne Show was number one in the 1990s, and revived in 2018 with excellent ratings. However, when Roseanne posted a tweet about the Iran nuclear deal and Obama ally Valerie Jarrett, the lifelong civil rights activist was promptly accused of racism over the misunderstood post. Roseanne and her show were abruptly “canceled”.
In Roseanne Barr is America, the still hilarious and highly opinionated Roseanne recounts the untold story of her unusual upbringing and her extraordinarily successful career in comedy and television. A master storyteller, Roseanne exposes the sinister political forces and the twisted “cancel culture” that must be overcome for America to survive as a free nation. An impassioned lover of America, Roseanne explains in her uniquely entertaining way her views on today’s pressing issues and the path forward. As viewers will quickly come to understand, Roseanne Barr is America!
Public Release: Available on DVD, VOD, and streaming platforms beginning June 10.
