KOCH documentary trailer

KOCH will open in New York on February 1, 2013 before playing around the country. For more information visit www.kochthemovi... or like us on Facebook at / kochthemovie .
Former Mayor Ed Koch is the quintessential New Yorker. Still ferocious, charismatic, and hilariously blunt, the now 88-year-old Koch ruled New York from 1978 to 1989-a down-and-dirty decade of grit, graffiti, near-bankruptcy and rampant crime. First-time filmmaker (and former Wall Street Journal reporter) Neil Barsky has crafted an intimate and revealing portrait of this intensely private man, his legacy as a political titan, and the town he helped transform. The tumult of his three terms included a fiercely competitive 1977 election; an infamous 1980 transit strike; the burgeoning AIDS epidemic; landmark housing renewal initiatives; and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Through candid interviews and rare archival footage, Koch thrillingly chronicles the personal and political toll of running the world's most wondrous city in a time of upheaval and reinvention.

This, I'd like to see.
Koch was a fascinating character.

Is it fair to say, greatest mayor NYC ever had?

[@aquarius1128]

Loved this man. Had the time of my life in NYC when he was mayor. He was the best mayor ever!

[@benkleschinsky]

I'd like to see a mayor today walking up to random people and asking how I'm doing.

[@choimaru08]

Apologies. I wrote that comment in a hurry one day when I was reading/watching up on the Koch Brothers. Mix-up.

[@oshalosh]

Such unfortunate timing.
