Don't Call it a Comeback: Anthony Weiner's Doomed Mayoral Campaign
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 13, 2016
Directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg talk about their film “Weiner,” which details the failed NYC mayoral campaign of former congressman Anthony Weiner. The film follows Weiner as he tries to make a comeback following the fallout of his Twitter scandal and his subsequent resignation. His mayoral campaign takes a sharp dive when he’s forced to admit to new sexting allegations.
"Weiner" opens Friday, May 20th at the IFC Center (323 Avenue of the Americas). For a complete list of showtimes and Q&As with the directors, visit the IFC Center website.
