It's the 2003 Mayoral election of Philadelphia - and a "bug"
is found in the Mayor's office - 26 days before the election.
It's Philadelphia politics with all of its infamy, political
thuggery, scandals, drama and (of course) the fallout of "the
bug."
During Philadelphia’s 2003 Mayoral elections, much
attention was spent on how the opponents, Democratic Mayor
John Street and Republican Sam Katz, were conducting their
campaigns. While the media offered plenty of reports about
the various “complaints of misconduct,” none of
them truly captured the rough-and-tumble political street-fighting
the way that this unflinching behind-the-scenes documentary
does. A daring exposé on Philly's "politics as
usual."
A must-see film loved by Philadelphians and out-of-towners
alike.
