8. "Street Fight" Good movie.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fight_(film)

The film details the hard-fought mayoral campaign by a young community activist and City Council member against a 16-year incumbent mayor with a powerful political machine. The documentary follows Booker and several of his campaign workers from their early days of door-knocking on Newark streets through the campaign's dramatic conclusion. Toward the end, Curry captures on film attempts by Mayor Sharpe James and city employees, including police and "code enforcement," to sabotage Booker's campaign, using tactics that include shutting down local businesses that hold Booker fundraisers, demoting city workers who support Booker, and demolishing Booker signs, in what becomes a true urban political "street fight."
