Director: Josh Kreigman, Elyse Steinberg

American politician Anthony Weiner became notorious due to a scandal that led to his resignation as a Democratic congressman in 2011, when an explicit intimate photo he shared on social networks became public. This documentary traces his attempt to return to politics. As Weiner fights for the post of Mayor of New York, he allows the filmmakers to take a close look behind the scenes of his election campaign. However, despite the scandal and his wife’s support, he is not giving up his sexcapades. We watch Weiner’s futile battle with the media, which doggedly concentrates its interest on one topic only. The film inspires viewers to think about the borders of privacy, the power of the media, and the sound judgement of politicians.
