Episode of Series “Searching for values: a film anthology”.
A long-term popular politician, proud of “getting things done for the people”, ruthlessly fights to retain his office with a panoply of unethical tactics and henchmen. Deeply entrenched in corruption, the politician retains his office due to the efforts of his supporters who organised a mass movement of popular support for him. Edited from the film “All the King’s Men” produced and directed by Robert Rossen.
