A black & white satire by the cynics Jared Hopkins & N. T. Bullock
In a quirky Cold War-era vibe, 'I Ran Against Us' tells the story of an American couple, Jon and Sandy, who have gone through the typical breakup. Out of nowhere, Iran threatens the United States with massive destruction if Jon and Sandy do not get back together.
A U.S. government agent is sent in to force a reunion - at all costs - in the name of national security. The situation goes awry when Jon and Sandy have yet another falling out, this time broadcast live to the world. Mirroring the fragile relationships between nations, a new war is hinged on
Jon and Sandy's ability to reconcile.
Will Jon and Sandy save the world from war?
