Amid the George Floyd uprising, Brandon Scott, a young reform-minded leader, is elected mayor of Baltimore. His goal is to reduce gun violence in the city through a new, public health-focused, community-led approach, rather than relying solely on policing, as other leaders have done. With unfettered access, THE BODY POLITIC follows him and his team of young community leaders throughout their first year in City Hall, revealing their ambitious plan to lower the city's violence rate and challenge a long history of racism. As opposition mounts, Mayor Scott's commitment to his principles puts his political future in jeopardy. Cameras continue to follow to see if his holistic plan will lead to healing in Baltimore—and maybe even reveal a pathway forward for the nation.

Film Carnage | Rebecca Cherry, Film Critic
"The Body Politic is another great example of the new generation of politicians, young people who deeply care about their community, doing everything they can to improve it. You have to hope that in the future people like Brandon Scott won’t be a standout, they’ll be the norm."

“An absorbing, moving and inspirational documentary."

"A key idea that THE BODY POLITIC and Scott’s work as mayor explores is dealing with an issue at the source and not in the aftermath."

The Washington Post | Ann Hornaday, Film Critic
"I am knocked out by this movie… I can't say enough"

Film Festival Today | Christopher Llewellyn Reed, Film Critic
“...a raw look at how politics should work, warts and all.”

Filmmaker Magazine | Patricia Aufderheide, Film Reviewer
“The filmmakers manage to capture extraordinary scenes of political standoffs and negotiation, heartbreak and improbable triumph.”

PA Times: American Society For Public Administration | Lori L. Hardesty, Associate Director, Applied Learning & Community Engagement, The Shriver Center at University of Maryland Baltimore County
“Simultaneously fascinating and frustrating, I felt like I had a front-row seat...”

Sonic Cinema | Brian Skutle, Film Critic
“This is an important film for troubling times.”

Overly Honest Reviews | Chris Jones, Film Critic
"“A cinematic call to action that resonates far beyond Baltimore’s borders... essential viewing for those invested in the future of urban policy and community revitalization...”

Gazzettely | Naser Nahandian, Film Critic
“The Body Politic becomes more than just a documentary in this sophisticated exploration; it becomes a philosophical inquiry into the nature of hope in a world of uncertainty.”

Marin Magazine | Bernard Boo, Film Critic
“Scott really is the wave of the future... what he is doing will make waves across the country.”
