Filmmaker Pat McGee and his Pat McGee Pictures have secured exclusive access to Charles Booker\u2019s U.S. Senate primary run in Kentucky for a new documentary.<\/p>\n
The untitled doc will explore the late surge Booker rode to nearly pulling off the primary upset against establishment favorite Amy McGrath and ultimately taking on\u00a0Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. He climbed neck-and-neck after being down 58 points to McGrath, who had outraised Booker 40-1 and been endorsed by the Democratic Senatorial Senate Committee. McGee serves as director and executive producer on the project.<\/p>\n
McGee\u2019s recent projects include Bernie Blackout<\/em> for Vice, which documented Bernie Sanders\u2019 run for U.S. president.<\/p>\n McGee said: \u201cCharles Booker became more than just a candidate for Kentucky, he became an inspiring leader on the national level. And, while the official vote did not go his way there\u2019s a powerful movement happening in our country with visionaries like him paving the way. I\u2019m honored to assist in telling his story.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Filmmaker Pat McGee and his Pat McGee Pictures have secured exclusive access to Charles Booker\u2019s U.S. Senate primary run in Kentucky for a new documentary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":14781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5001,5002],"class_list":["post-14780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-pat-mcgee","tag-pat-mcgee-pictures","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
