Engrossing. MAYOR is a study in politics both micro and macro, showing what happens when the two come fatefully crashing together. - Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter\nAstonishing. Gripping and surprisingly witty... Osit brings a respectful approach that admirably never registers as observations of a patronizing Westerner. - Tomris Laffly, Variety\nCRITIC'S PICK. Surprisingly funny. Hadid comes across as a cleareyed, forthright leader. But Mayor also stands out because Osit has thought it through in cinematic terms. --Ben Kenigsberg, The New York Times\n\n... one of my favorites of the year, hands-down was David Osit's hilarious and moving documentary Mayor. - Alissa Wilkinson, Vox\nBrilliant. Like a lost season of 'Veep'... amuses and devastates in equal measure. - Stephen Saito, Moveable Fest\nI loved this film. I loved everything about it from its craft, to its subject to all the thematic threads. I love that this is a film that works on many different levels, that it entertains like a drama and makes you think. This is a magnificent film. - Steve Kopian, Unseen Films\nOutstanding...Made with irony, subtlety, and style, Mayor is a bittersweet lesson in civic and international politics. --Peter Keough, The Boston Globe\n\nProduct Description\n\nMAYOR is a real-life political saga following Musa Hadid, the Christian mayor of Ramallah, during his second term in office. His immediate goals: repave the sidewalks, attract more tourism, and plan the city's Christmas celebrations. His ultimate mission: to end the occupation of Palestine. Rich with detailed observation and a surprising amount of humor, MAYOR offers a portrait of dignity amidst the madness and absurdity of endless occupation while posing a question: how do you run a city when you don't have a country?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B08SGWD2T1\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B08SGWD2T1.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Musa Hadid|David Osit\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
