Koch

Former Mayor Ed Koch was the quintessential New Yorker.

Ferocious, charismatic, and hilariously blunt, Koch, ruled New York from 1978 to 1989-a down-and-dirty decade of grit, graffiti, near-bankruptcy and rampant crime.

First-time filmmaker 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.
