Synopsis: Before Trump, Before Sanders, Before Frank Underwood — Congressman Jim Traficant was the original bombastic populist but with mobbed up street cred. As sheriff, Traficant beat organized crime, defeated the Justice Department in a RICO case…he even vanquished President Clinton. Once in DC, Traficant became infamous for his polyester thrift store suits, shock top wig, vulgar humor and profanity laced rhetoric against the FBI, IRS, and every president since Reagan. The self proclaimed “son-of-truck driver” lampoons the hypocrisy of modern politics while standing tall for his blue collar steelworkers of Youngstown, Ohio.Featuring rich archival footage and extensive interviews with Youngstown’s favorite TV legend Modern Family’s Ed O?Neill (also producer), Congressman Tim Ryan, and Hall of Fame boxer Ray ?Boom Boom? Mancini, Murphy?s documentary is an illuminating and captivating portrait of of the most unraveled politician in American history.
