“WEINER,” a documentary about former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, is explored with directors Elyse Steinberg & Josh Kriegman. The directors explain how they attempted to portray Weiner as more than just a tabloid punchline by painting a more nuanced, complex portrait of him and his wife. We look at the humiliation of Weiner’s sexting scandal and go inside his mayoral campaign as we examine how headlines about politicians’ personal lives distract from the issues that matter, in this episode of BYOD hosted by Ondi Timoner.
