"THE YOUNGEST CANDIDATE" follows the story of 4 teens that ran for public office in America. Funny, inspiring, poignant, and ultimately uplifting, this is not just a film about running for office. It is the coming of age story of four idealistic young adults who dared to confront the corrupt political systems in America.

Through their journey these young candidates learn about fair play, leadership development, racism in politics, the importance of family, and many other lessons that they will carry with them throughout their lives. In the face of great adversity, these four young adults braved all the odds to make it to Election Day to show that regardless of the outcome, it didn’t matter… It’s all about how you play the game. (90 minutes, 2008)
