Citizen Ruth
“Life, liberty, money and the pursuit of happiness. She's gotta have it.”
DramaComedy
"Citizen Ruth" is the story of Ruth Stoops, a woman who nobody even noticed -- until she got pregnant. Now, everyone wants a piece of her. The film is a comedy about one woman caught in the ultimate tug-of-war: a clash of wild, noisy, ridiculous people that rapidly dissolves into a media circus.
VIBE
This film feels like a darkly funny, chaotic circus where a woman becomes a pawn in a media frenzy. It's an uncomfortable, satirical ride that exposes the absurdity of extreme ideologies and the people caught in their crosshairs.
