Donors Choose and Contests

Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.

A guy Scrapper and I grew up with directed the documentary, which is about the 2002 mayoral race in Newark and how scrappy it got between the incumbent, Sharpe James, and the challenger, Cory Booker, who is kind of an Obama East.Scrapper saw a screening and ordered me to TiFaux it on PBS, which I did…three months ago, and just sat down today to watch it.Sorry about that.Anyway, it’s excellent; I’m not sure where you can find it for renting, but Marshall’s site probably has more information.It’s infuriating and enlightening and I definitely recommend it.(10/23/05)
