Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie is a 2005 documentary film written and directed by comedian Jeff Ross.[1]
Overview
The film 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.
