An excellent documentary about racism, unions and intimidation. Focused on the race between Sam Katz and John Street and the ugliness that went on during the campaign. The footage is excellent starting with a famous Street outburst as a councilman and him physically assaulting a reporter, to when the indictments are handed out and everyone goes to jail except Street. The Democrat political machine showed their strength and all the players were spinning together. It is really hard to believe this happened recently. This smacks of Boss Tweed and illustrates everything that is wrong with this once great city. Kudo's to Tigre Hill an African American with a lot of guts. The Irish Union guys like Dougherty and Brady look especially loathsome. It is a fascinating yet sad tale, an important film for anyone interested in big city politics.
