"An Unreasonable Man," a documentary opening Friday at the Nuart in West Los Angeles, chronicles the life and accomplishments of public advocate Ralph Nader.
The crux of the film, though, is how Nader went from being an admired attorney responsible for the passage of historic safety and health laws to a pariah when he ran for president in 2000. Many still blame him for the Democratic loss because he refused to exit the race, siphoning votes that otherwise might have gone to Al Gore.
