See How They Run is a humorous portrait of American politics played out in San Francisco. With behind the scenes access, this film follows Mayor Willie Brown in his fight for re-election. The story takes a remarkable turn when an openly gay city supervisor and stand-up comedian, Tom Ammiano, stages a historic write-in campaign to create a David and Goliath showdown.

This verite film chronicles an election in which power, race and sexual orientation ended up on the back-burner for locals more concerned about the expansion of Starbucks and the ‘dot-coms’ in their backyards. See How They Run captures the humor and scandals from inside personal and political battles.

Includes appearances by: Reverend Jesse Jackson, Regis & Kathie Lee, Sean Penn, Bill Maher, Arianna Huffington, George Schultz, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown and the voters and press of San Francisco.
