FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- COLORFUL ED THOMPSON DOCUMENTARY NOW ON DVD!
Milwaukee, WI - May 10, 2006 - Ed Thompson calls himself a "common man"
but he is anything but common. A documentary about him, aptly titled A
REMARKABLE MAN, is now available on DVD.
The 82-minute documentary opens with Thompson's famous free annual
Thanksgiving dinner at his Tomah, WI, supper club, the Teepee. It goes
on to cover his spirited younger days as a tavern owner, boxer, prison
guard and professional poker player.
The 1997 gambling raid on the Teepee changed his life and eventually led
to his involvement in politics.
The documentary captures many aspects of Ed Thompson's multi-faceted
personality, showing his charisma, wit, and spirituality. Thompson's
story unfolds through numerous interviews with friends and family,
including his older brother Tommy Thompson who was elected as
Wisconsin's Governor a record four times.
Ed is driven by a love of freedom and individual rights, and a strong
determination to accomplish what he sets out to do. As brother Tommy
says, "When Eddie Thompson decides to do something you better get out of
the way because no matter what you say he's going to go ahead and do it
his own way. And that's what we love about him."
A REMARKABLE MAN director Dave Hendrickson, who became close friends
with Thompson while making the documentary, says, "If you love freedom,
you'll LOVE this movie. Ed is one in a million. Maybe one in ten
million."
The extras on the DVD include excerpts from Ed's recent speeches,
additional comments and interviews, his current projects, including
three of his weekly radio commentaries, and more. The extras contain
enough material to comprise a movie by themselves.
These days, Thompson has expanded the Teepee the length of a Tomah city
block, and he also offers a weekly radio commentary, "Just a Little
Common Sense," on local
station WTMB-FM. The commentaries are archived at www.b945country.com.
A REMARKABLE MAN was produced by Eno Yaw, Ltd. Learn more about the
movie at www.remarkableman.com. The DVD is priced at $16.95.
