Anthony Weiner was a young congressman on the cusp of higher office when a sexting scandal forced a humiliating resignation. Just two years later, he ran for mayor of New York City, betting that his ideas would trump his indiscretions. He was wrong. With unprecedented access to Weiner, his family, and his campaign team, WEINER is a thrilling look inside a political comeback-turned-meltdown. What begins as an unexpected surge to the top of the polls takes a sharp turn once Weiner is forced to admit to new sexting allegations. As the media descends and dissects his every move, Weiner desperately tries to forge ahead, but the increasing pressure and crippling 24-hour news coverage halt his political aspirations. WEINER walks the line between political farce and personal tragedy. With the city of New York as a loud and bustling backdrop, this documentary charges through an increasingly baffling political campaign with unflinching clarity, humor, and pathos. 2016 AWD FILM, LLC

Well done piece, but very uncomfortable to watch. Weiner comes across as a high functioning socio-path. Hard to tell if he is genuinely passionate about New Yorkers or not. Using his child on voting day did him no favours. Huma clearly agonised by whole situation and seems, in the end, to have very little feeling for him. Sydney Leathers just about the most repulsive attention-seeking bogan America has offered to date, and the competition is pretty fierce. Well edited, well done, you keep watching despite your reactions.
