Review from PolitcalAffairs.net:

"As a New Yorker who lived eight tough years during under Giuliani I wondered how could Kevin Keating and his documentary team capture what it meant to live in New York then and make it credible without going over the top with rage and anger? Could he utilize the facts in a way that wasn’t a litany that, after a short while, would just become a boring documentary? Could Keating make a documentary that as a film would be entertaining in the best sense of that word? On all counts he succeeded." [More here]

'Draft Rudy' vs. 'Giuliani Time'

2006-04-20T14:10:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 17, 2006

"Draft Rudy" Campaign Goes on the Attack Against "Giuliani Time"

Campaign Group Issues 'Action Alert' Calling For Donations to Launch A Campaign to Expose Inaccuracies in Film

LOS ANGELES - With a month to go before the release of "Giuliani Time," Giuliani backers have put out an email Action Alert calling for subscribers "to launch an effective campaign to expose the inaccuracies in "Giuliani Time" and defend America's Mayor," following the announcement of the documentary's theatrical release plans last week. On Monday, Allen Fore, co-founder of the Draft Rudy For President, NFP (http://www.draftrudygiuliani.com/) based in Chicago, Illinois, called for campaign donation of "$20, $200, or $2,000...to combat and expose this propaganda that is being disguised as a documentary."

Plans for the film's theatrical release were announced last week. National news outlets including the New York Times, New York Post and MSNBC's "The Situation" with Tucker Carlson along with New York regional media such as the Daily News, WCBS, NY1's "Inside City Hall" and WABC covered the story extensively. Patrick Healy of the New York Times called the film "Nothing less than a full frontal assault on the civic deification of Rudolph W. Giuliani." David Saltonstall's column in the New York Daily News opines that the film "seeks to do for Giuliani what Michael Moore's 'Farenheit 9/11' did for President Bush." The New York Post took aim at the "leftie flick." Director Kevin Keating was interviewed live on MSNBC's "The Situation" with Tucker Carlson, on WCBS by Andrew Kirtzman, TV journalist and author of "Emperor of the City," one of the first books on Giuliani's term as mayor, and on "Inside City Hall" by Dominic Carter, who covered City Hall during Giuliani's reign.

In the Action Alert, the "Draft Rudy" organization claims the film "tries to distort reality and ruin the reputation of an American hero." Keating's film analyzes Giuliani's family history, his disastrous record on the First Amendment, the use and abuse of government powers and the severe methods he employed to enforce the Quality of Life and Zero Tolerance campaigns in New York City. In making the film, director Kevin Keating researched the film for four years, shot approximately 300 hours of footage and culled through another 200 hours of network and archival footage. The filmmakers interviewed key people who worked with Giuliani's administration as well as long-time Giuliani advocates from the Manhattan Institute (Myron Magnet and Heather McDonald), George Kelling amd Fred Siegel. The film features interviews with former New York City Police Commissioner William S. Bratton, former New York City School Commissioner Rudy Grew, and Wayne Barrett, the Village Voice's Senior Editor who has written extensively on Giuliani ("Rudy!: An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani"). "The movie does track sections from my book," says Barrett. "When the book came out in 2000, it was covered extensively by the media and Giuliani was challenged directly about what the book revealed. None of the facts presented in the book were questioned by Giuliani."

The film will open in New York at the Landmark's Sunshine Cinema on May 12 and widen to select theatres across the country. Cinema Libre Studio has worldwide rights. For more information about the film visit www.giulianitime.com.

Draft Rudy Campaign - http://www.draftrudygiuliani.com/

From Wikipedia: "Draft Rudy Giuliani for President, Inc., [23] registered with Federal Election Commission in October 2005 to become the first federal committee formed with the sole purpose of encouraging former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to run for President of the United States in 2008. As of January 2006, it remains the only committee formed for this reason. By law, Draft Rudy Giuliani for President cannot coordinate its activities with the former mayor."
