When Infamous street artist Ron English's image of Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama merged together gains national attention for being illegally pasted all over Boston, he decides to gather a crew of artists and musicians and take off across America, plastering the image wherever they can find an open wall.
In the spirit of Hunter S. Thompson and the Merry Pranksters, Ron English and crew take you on an unforgettable trip through Americas underground. Along the way they meet up with counter culture heroes such as Shepard Fairey, Morgan Spurlock, and David Choe, and spread their subversive propaganda to America's heartland on a grassroots campaign to get Barack Obama elected.
Abraham Obama is a raw unfiltered look at the power of street art and offers a rare glimpse inside the insane lives of some the most prolific artists in America today.
