Fred is a 2014 American documentary film that chronicles the 2012 presidential campaign of the first openly gay candidate in a major political party in American history, Fred Karger. Fred premiered at the Monadnock International Film Festival on April 4, 2014.[1]
Background
Director John Fitzgerald Keitel followed the Fred Karger Presidential campaign for more than two years, as it crisscrossed the country. Keitel captured hundreds of hours of campaigning and tied this together by interviewing young gay activists about how Karger's campaign changed their lives.[2]
Keitel had previously documented Karger's efforts to save the Boom Boom Room, a historic gay bar in Laguna Beach, California.
