As attorney general of New York, Eliot Spitzer became famous for going after America’s biggest financial institutions and corporate executives. Then he became governor with the largest margin in state history. But fame turned to infamy when the paragon of rectitude was discovered visiting prostitutes. The man who might have become the nation’s first Jewish president resigned his office in disgrace while his powerful enemies gloated. Meanwhile, as the former Sheriff of Wall Street fell, so did the financial markets that he had been investigating. The resulting crash threatened to unravel the global economy. This documentary offers unique insight into a story of power, greed, hubris and sex. It peels back the curtain on the escort world and features interviews with Mr. Spitzer himself, plus friends, colleagues and enemies, many speaking for the first time.
