>“Weiner,” a documentary about the failed New York mayoral bid of kinky ex-congressman Anthony Weiner, was supposed to be trouble for Hillary Clinton. But the filmmaker behind the sexting saga is hoping it’s worse for Donald Trump.
>“What we hope people take away is questions about how much the political process today is driven by spectacle and entertainment,” filmmaker and former Weiner aide Josh Kriegman, who grew up in Newton, told the Track. “And you can see that played out in our current presidential cycle in Donald Trump. We expect the film to generate less controversy in terms of Hillary and more in terms of Trump.”
>Kriegman and co-filmmaker Elyse Steinberg were given virtually unrestricted access to the candidate and Huma by virtue of the fact that Kriegman was the candidate’s trusted former chief of staff in Congress. But what started out as a story of political redemption — Weiner actually led the polls early on in the mayoral race — became a different tale when the second wave of sexting became public and Weiner began skidding to a humiliating defeat.
