Buddy (2005)

Directed by Cherry Arnold

Overview

The story of the often contradictory and always audacious public figure, Vincent A. “Buddy” Cianci, the former Mayor of Providence, RI. The film tracks Cianci’s entanglements with city council opposition, union skirmishes, personal scandals, and criminal indictments. The result is a fascinating study of American local politics and a surprising tale of a man who, in the words of one commentator, “has a city as his mistress.”
