Winner of the Best Documentary prize at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, Weiner is a wonderfully stranger-than-fiction tale of political scandal and contemporary morality. Anthony Weiner was a democratic congressman on the rise when a ‘sexting’ scandal forced a humiliating resignation. Two years later, he ran for New York City mayor, betting that his ideas would trump his indiscretions. With unprecedented access, Weiner takes us inside this fascinating political comeback-turned-meltdown. In this post screening Q and A ACMI's Head of Film Programs James Hewison talks about the film, politics and life in the public eye with Adam Bandt, Federal Member for Melbourne.
