Rats in the Ranks - dvd

4x3 / DD2
Politics is a bruising business. The best policies in the world mean nothing unless you’ve got the numbers. This film takes a behind-locked-doors look at how politicians get the numbers. A gripping real-life drama with a white knuckle climax.Every September, Sydney’s Leichhardt Council elects its mayor. Incumbent Larry Hand was popular with the citizenry, but they don’t vote for Mayor – the 12 councillors do – and after three years of Larry, some of them were after his job. Directed by Bob Connolly & Robin Anderson who won Best Documentary for Rats in the Ranks – TV Week Logie, Melbourne International Film Festival, Sydney Film Festival.
