Although the film can't delve deep into all his controversies, it highlights significant decisions made during his term that impacted the city. Through the lens of his actions and remarks, particularly the infamous comment about 'oriental people,' the documentary portrays Ford's tumultuous journey as both a politician and a person.
Ford swings between joking around, puce-faced outrage, and meek apology. He resembles a baby, which makes strange sense; shamelessness became necessary for public office.
