Clay
Directed by Kevin Jerome Everson
Chaired by the city’s mayor, Rodick Bobo, a relative of the filmmaker’s, motions are moved, seconded and voted on. Pay rises for city employees, permits for food trucks, and other matters of municipal governance are discussed in view of the camera’s fixed frame. Against a wider backdrop of decrepit democratic systems in the country, a portrait of an attempt at earnest, accountable politics in the USA emerges.
