Despite the flaw of being heavily biased in portraying [Abdul] El-Sayed in the best possible light, How to Fix a Primary does an admirable job of putting his campaign in a larger context of how much can be bought and sold in an election.

david f @dfulmer 05/22/2021 An interesting documentary about a gubernatorial run made by a progressive outsider in Michigan in 2018 and the slightly mysterious forces of the Establishment that derailed it. I really loved the scenes of Michigan and the content involving the politics of my home state (like the Mackinac Conference) but the documentary was sort of shallow and didn't really go beyond the surface sufficiently to make a great movie.
