Teachout-Wu Campaign was Recorded on Video for a Documentary

I ran across an interesting story from the Washington Post about video that was recorded during the recent Teachout-Wu campaign in New York State and is to be used for a documentary.
The news story titled "Coming Soon: Zephyr Teachout, The Movie" is about how filmmaker Jennifer Dworkin has captured video and plans to edit it into a documentary about the underdog campaign.

Jennifer Dworkin, who last directed a documentary on a recovering crack addict for PBS, began filming Ms. Teachout during an upstate convention for the Working Families Party in late May — a politically raucous 48-hours during which Ms. Teachout lost the party’s nomination to Mr. Cuomo after Mayor Bill de Blasio helped the governor cut a deal.

“It was a roller-coaster,” said Ms. Dworkin, who had a three-person camera-crew at the event, which was not televised or otherwise filmed. “It was extremely intense behind the scenes.”

Since then, Ms. Dworkin has spent nearly every day with Ms. Teachout, whom she was friendly with before the campaign, and Ms. Teachout’s running mate, Tim Wu. She called the race “a real David and Goliath story.”

I'll be looking forward to seeing that one if / when it comes out.
