[Dark Donnie]

Based on the true story of college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns' long battle with the U.S. automobile industry, a tale of one man whose fight to receive recognition for his ingenuity would come at a heavy price. But this determined engineer refused to be silenced, and he took on the corporate titans in a battle that nobody thought he could win. The Kearns were a typical 1960s Detroit.

I remember seeing the trailer for this months ago when I went to the movies and all I could think was "Is that it? I mean, is this what it's come to? Have we, as a society, run out of people to make bio flicks for that we are now making movies about f**king windshield wipers?!?"



p.s. This movie will sweep the oscars.
