STREET FIGHT follows the bare-knuckles race for mayor of Newark NJ, between Cory Booker, a 32-year old Rhodes Scholar/Yale Law School grad, and Sharpe James, the four-term incumbent twice his age. An urban David and Goliath story, the film chronicles Booker's struggle against the city's political machine, which uses harassment and voter intimidation to hold onto power. The battle sheds light on important American questions about democracy, poverty and race. In a surprising twist for an election between two African-Americans, the incumbent accuses his Ivy League-educated opponent of not being "really black," forcing voters to examine how we define race in America.

Marshall Curry is a graduate of Swarthmore College where he studied Comparative Religion and was a Eugene Lang Scholar. He was also a Jane Addams Fellow at Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy, where he wrote about the history, philosophy, and economics of non-profits. STREET FIGHT is Curry's first feature-length film.
