  Street Fight chronicles the bare-knuckles race for Mayor of Newark N.J. between Cory Booker a 32-year-old Yale Law School graduate and Sharpe James the four-term incumbent and undisputed champion of New Jersey politics. Fought in Newark's neighbourhoods and housing projects the battle pits Booker against an a political machine that will use any means necessary to crush its opponents: city workers who do not support the mayor are demoted; disloyal businesses are targeted; a campaigner is detained and accused of terrorism; and disks of voter personal data are stolen during the night.Even the filmmaker is dragged into the fray and by election day the climate has become so heated that the national government is forced to send in observers to watch for election fraud and even violence and intimidation. Street Fight is set in the underbelly of democracy where elections are not won with spin-doctors or media consultants let alone policies are won on the streets.

  In 2006, Matt VanDyke, a timid 28-year-old with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, left home in Baltimore and set off on a self-described crash course in manhood . He bought a motorcycle and a video camera and began a three-year, 35,000-mile motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East. While traveling, he struck up an unlikely friendship with a Libyan hippie, and when revolution broke out in Libya, Matt joined his friend in the fight against dictator Muammar Gaddafi. With a gun in one hand and a camera in the other, Matt fought in -- and filmed -- the war until he was captured by Gaddafi forces and held in solitary confinement for six months. Two-time Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker, Marshall Curry, tells this harrowing and sometimes humorous story of a young man s struggle for political revolution and personal transformation.
