After the viral video’s popularity caused Pedigo to become more known, he decided to try and actually pursue a seat in office.
The documentary follows his efforts to do so and the many obstacles he encounters along the way.
Directed by Jasmine Stodel, Kid Candidate tells the story of Hayden Pedigo, a 24-year old experimental musician and his unlikely run for city council in Amarillo, Texas after his Harmony Korine-inspired spoof campaign video went viral.
