Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer

The controversial, eye-opening, informative, 2-hour, Alex Gibney political documentary that consists of news clips and interviews with former advisor Lloyd Constantine, writer Peter Elkind, communications director Darren Dopp, editor Frederick Dicker, journalist Wayne Barrett, political consultant and strategist Roger Stone, New York senate leader Joseph Bruno, campaign manager Jimmy Siegel and national financial campaign director Kristian Stiles, Columbia law professor Scott Horton, AIG executive Richard Beattie, painter Hubert Woldrup, various female escorts such as Ashley Alexandra Dupré and Cecil Suwal, and last but not least Eliot Spritzer himself to examine the successes and failures in the blemished career of charismatic, hypocritical New York Governor Eliot Spitzer who as "The Sheriff of Wall Street" investigated environmental abuses and insurance fraud and prosecuted corrupt bankers and CEOs (such as Kenneth Langone, Dick "Punky" Grasso, Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, and John C. Whitehead) for illegal financial shenanigans and securities fraud while as a married man and alleged moral politician was involved in the seedy world of escorts.
