Documentary film about 2009 mayor’s race complete

A local filmmaker has completed a documentary about the 2009 Seattle mayor’s race.

As Koi Walker tells it on her website, she set out to document the race and got blown off by Mayor Greg Nickels, the incumbent. So she started focusing on the underfunded and less experienced candidates in the race — and of course ended up with a great story when environmentalist Mike McGinn won an unlikely victory.

Walker is having an invitation-only showing of the movie next weekend, but you can see a trailer here.

The filmmakers plan to offer DVDs through their Facebook page sometime in August.
