The Promise of New York-Film Screening September 8, 2009

The film you must see this election year comes to Monkey Town! This award-winning documentary follows the adventures of a blogger turned stand-up comic, an obsessive political gadfly and a high-school math teacher as they try to unseat billionaire mayor Michael Bloomberg during the 2005 New York City mayoral election. 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.
