Mayor Pete (2021)
A new angle for a political campaign documentary
26 October 2021 - 39 out of 105 users found this review helpful.
Unlike the standard documentary type about a political campaign, with competitors set up as enemies and the set-up seeming to make this a campaigning vehicle, this film takes the audience into the realm of relationships between the candidate and his spouse, his campaign team, and the internal questions and conflicts. I found this much more satisfying and insightful than documentaries that treat campaigns as if they were major league sports events. I came away from this with even greater respect for the main figures. Now I would like to see the other films by this producer/ director/ writer team, too.
