TCFF board member and popular "Borat" director Larry Charles will debut his new film, "Religulous," at the 2008 Traverse City Film Festival. The title of the film comes from the combination of the words "religion" and "ridiculous" and is a satirical look at the concept of organized religion, as seen through the eyes of comedian [...]
