Description:  Known as the ‘Feisty Grandma’, Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg flipped New Jersey on its head when she unearthed the Bridgegate scandal. The debacle caused the fast and hard fall of then Governor Chris Christie. Told through the unique lens of a mother/daughter story, the film reveals how politics is always personal and that an “adorable” grandmother could be one of the most important politicians of our time.
