Roseanne Barr’s 2012 U.S. presidential campaign is getting the big-screen treatment.
Writer, director and longtime Michael Moore collaborator Eric Weinrib is helming Roseanne for President! — a behind-the-scenes documentary about the actress and her bid to unseat President Barack Obama.
Barr announced her decision to run for president on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in August 2011 and exactly one year later won the nomination of the Peace and Freedom Party. She appeared on the ballot in California, Colorado and Florida, racking up more than 65,000 votes to place sixth in the U.S. national popular vote.
