"Oh, the HAIR!" "Huge ego!" "You don't know which part is brilliant and which part is psychotic!" Surprisingly, this is not a film about the current cast of candidates. In the 70's, Jim Traficant blasted onto the political scene in his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio, then the crime capital of the U.S. He took on the mob, cussed out the IRS and FBI, and served time. Yet this larger than life congressman endured..... his constituents LOVED him. This action-packed, wildly entertaining documentary about an original, a rogue, and the town that spawned him, is full of great one-liners, captured in copious news broadcasts.
