| Summary |
Directed by Oscar®-winning filmaker Marshall Curry, STREET FIGHT is a thrilling Academy Award®-nominated story of bare-knuckle politics in America. When a young unknown challenger named Cory Booker takes on the head of a powerful political machine, he discovers that sometimes elections are won and lost in the streets. Gritty, funny, and surprisingly inspirational, the film goes behind-the-scenes in a rough-and-tumble campaign in Newark, N.J. It offers an intimate, unvarnished view of Booker before he became a U.S. Senator and regular fixture in the national Democratic Party. **Academy Award** nominee for Best Documentary, Features. Official Selection at the **Tribeca Film Festival**. |
