Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie

Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie is a 2005 documentary film written and directed by comedian Jeff Ross. It covers a 2003 United Service Organizations (USO) comedy tour for American soldiers in Iraq, organized and headlined by Drew Carey and also featuring Ross, Blake Clark, Rocky LaPorte, Kyle Dunnigan and Kathy Kinney. The film shows the comedians performing for the troops, interacting with them, and observing elements of the ongoing Iraq War. Ross, who had never participated in a USO tour, states in the documentary that he was inspired by comedian Bob Hope, who performed frequently for U.S. troops throughout his life.

Patriot Act premiered at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival on July 21, 2005, and has since been shown on Showtime.
