Street Fight

Street Fight is a gripping documentary that delves into the cutthroat world of urban politics, following the 2002 mayoral campaign in Newark, New Jersey. The film captures the fierce battle between a young, charismatic community activist and City Council member, Cory Booker, and the long-standing mayor, Sharpe James, who will stop at nothing to maintain his grip on power. As the campaign intensifies, the film exposes the dark underbelly of corruption and racism that plagues minority communities in Newark, and raises questions about the true meaning of Black identity. With endorsements from prominent African American figures and a determination to bring change to the city, Booker faces off against James in a dramatic showdown that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
