109: Running with Beto

Pure Nonfiction: Inside Documentary Film - A podcast by Pure Nonfiction - Thursdays

Beto O'Rourke rose from obscurity to political stardom in 2018 when he ran for the Texas Senate seat against incumbent Ted Cruz. Filmmaker David Modigliani follows that journey in "Running with Beto," now playing on HBO. On this podcast, Modigliani is joined by three Beto volunteers who are prominently featured in the film: Shannon Gay, Marcel McClinton and Amanda Salas. Their discussion was moderated by DOC NYC senior programmer Karen McMullen in front of a live audience at New York's Metrograph theater.
