‘The Body Politic’ Trailer: Dynamic Millennial Mayor Of Baltimore Takes Bold New Approach To Fighting Crime


Watch the trailer for 'The Body Politic,' about Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott's attempt to implement an innovative approach to violence reduction.

Scott’s effort to rescue his city – and the opposition he faced to implementing his bold violence reduction strategy – are told in the documentary The Body Politic, directed by Baltimore native Gabriel Francis Paz Goodenough. She addressed one of the dilemmas Scott faced as he tried to innovate on crime and violence reduction – people wanted immediate results, but the complex nature of the problem does not lend itself to a “magic wand” solution. Fellow EPs include Katy Chevigny, Mark Grieco (who also serves as story consultant), Brock Williams, Jeffrey Pechter, and Rudy Valdez (HBO’s The Sentence).
