Seven men vying to be the next Mayor of New York City, often considered the second most powerful man in the country.
On September 11, 2001, the date of one of the greatest tragedies in the history of America, and certainly of New York City, another major event was taking place: the primaries for the NYC Mayoral Election.
Throughout July and August of 2001, Jon Alpert and his team went on the campaign trail with each of the seven major party candidates to capture a "day in the life." Taking viewers behind the scenes, starting at home for breakfast, standing at subway entrances, visiting churches, temples and mosques, attending fundraisers, firemen's picnics, parades and strategy sessions, Campaign Confidential goes inside the men's exhausting campaign days from beginning to bitter end and provides a thought-provoking backstage view of the men who want to lead the capital of the world.
