MANIFESTO

From pioneering rap artists to moms letting loose, this year’s Sundance is filled with projects starring, written, and/or directed by some of the industry’s up-and-coming female talent — but some of the films are more worth your time than others.

The film integrates various types of artist manifestos from different time periods with contemporary scenarios. Manifestos are depicted by 13 different characters, among them a school teacher, factory worker, choreographer, punk, newsreader, scientist, puppeteer, widow, and a homeless man.

Discovery Channel’s FBI crime-drama Manifesto has booked Paul Bettany to star as Ted Kaczynski, also known as the “Unabomber.” The scripted project comes on the heels of Discovery’s ratings hit miniseries Harley and the Davidsons.
