Airing on U.S. premium cabier Showtime this fall, Weiner documents a further fall from grace for politician Anthony Weiner, a former American congressman in a bid for the mayor’s office in New York City. Co-directed by the politician’s former chief of staff, josh Kriegman, and Elyse Steinberg, the film follows Weiner as he tries to drag his reputation and his mayoral campaign back onto the rails following the unveiling of another chapter in the embarrassing sexting scandal that led to his earlier resignation from Congress. The film provides an engrossing window into the cutthroat world of political campaigning.
