Desc: The Promise of New York: Directed by Raul Barcelona. With Mike Amato, Michael Bloomberg, Seth Blum, Natalie Bovre. A blogger turned stand-up comic, an obsessive political gadfly and a high-school math teacher compete against each other and arch rival incumbent Michael Bloomberg for the post of New York City mayor. 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.
