More Details

Summary:

In May 2005, Spokane's Spokesman-Review revealed that the city's conservative Republican mayor Jim West had been leading a double life. This film examines a man's struggle with his sexual identity, a newspaper's controversial online sting, and the growing tension between a politician's private life and the public's right to know in an age of online communications.
