Honest Man - Meadville Screening
Honest Man, an independently produced feature-length documentary, follows Budd Dwyer, a Pennsylvania politician who infamously committed suicide at a televised press conference. The film chronicles Dwyer's meteoric rise to political power and examines the bribery scandal and subsequent trial that pushed him to his breaking point. "Honest Man" also delves into the controversial uncensored airing of Dwyer's death on television stations worldwide and the aftermath that followed.
Featuring exclusive new interviews with Dwyer's family, friends, and colleagues, including a candid, heartfelt interview with Dwyer's widow - her last before her death in 2009 - and a rare, revealing interview with William Smith, the man whose testimony convicted Dwyer, "Honest Man" reveals a story that has remained untold for over 24 years. This portrait of a man swept up in the turbulent and cutthroat world of politics will undoubtedly raise important questions about Dwyer's presumed guilt.
