One of the most talked about films at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival was the documentary "Weiner," by directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg. Kriegman and Steinberg start their film by catching New York congressman Anthony Weiner at his peak, a crusading liberal politician with the kind of media savvy and quick, coruscating wit that would make him a natural for higher office. Then he drops the ball when his balls get out.

"In a future ruled by an unwavering dedication to good health, three high school girls led by the defiant Miach Mihie attempt suicide as the ultimate act of rebellion. Tuan Kirie survives, but can’t shake the hatred she has for the “perfect world” she lives in."
