KCCS hosts a special post-election screening of The Promise of New York, Raul Barcelona’s irreverent look at mayoral politics in NYC
8pm, Wednesday, 12/2, Vox Pop Cafe: 1022 Cortelyou Rd @ Stratford Rd, Q to Cortelyou
free as always
“A blogger turned stand-up comic, an obsessive political gadfly and a high-school math teacher compete against each other and arch rival incumbent Michael Bloomberg for the post of New York City mayor. As these ordinary citizens take politics into their own hands, The Promise of New York explores the meaning of democracy and the identity of a city with hilarious irreverence and thought-provoking sensitivity.”
New York City. Politics. Mayhem.
**Director Raul Barcelona will join us for an intro and a Q&A after the film, and will have copies of his recently released DVD to sell**
“The film is at times whimsical, frustrating and hilarious, and the perfect vehicle to show how the political process in New York stifles rather than cultivates democracy.”-City Hall News
Winner of Best Documentary Audience Choice Award @ 31st Big Muddy Film Festival
