January 28th, Street Fight

Street Fight

“Street Fight” chronicles Cory Booker’s 2002 campaign against Sharpe

James for mayor of Newark, NJ. The film details the hard-fought

mayoral campaign by a young community activist (Booker) and City

Council member against a 16-year incumbent mayor (James) 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.
