The Rise, Fall & Redemption (?) of Anthony Weiner

On the Media | May 13, 2016

In 2013, disgraced New York congressman Anthony Weiner announced his candidacy for the mayor of New York City -- and he agreed to allow film-making duo Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg document the whole thing. Weiner hoped that his campaign would be the comeback of the "real" Anthony Weiner. In the end, it didn't quite turn out that way.

Bob talks to Kriegman and Steinberg about their new film, WEINER, which traces the rise and fall of Weiner's campaign and aims to show the other side of the media frenzy around his sexting scandal.
