I paid to watch this documentary a few months back and wasn't disappointed. Although I knew that Yang never had a chance of becoming President nor Mayor of New York, I was curious about why people supported him. This documentary offers a very thoughtful perspective on the people who made his campaign possible.
It's very well shot and tells a very beautiful and compelling story from the perspective of the filmmaker, Ching Juhl. Her journey and personal growth as both an immigrant and campaigner parallel the campaign movements as she travels the country persevering through racism and other difficulties.
The camaraderie and genuine respect of the other campaigners is authentic and reveals deeply personal layers about their individual personalities and reasons for joining the campaign. They somewhat reminded me of the motley crue from Godspell!
Aside from the colorful volunteers, the technical details are nearly flawless. This is not an amateurish attempt at guerilla filmmaking. The scenes are balanced following a logical sequence, the sound quality is excellent and the visual details maintain an engaging clarity throughout.
If you enjoy a lively behind the scenes look at political campaigns, this is it!
