POV's 'Koch' Is a Fascinating Portrait of the Larger-Than-Life New Contact: POV Communications: 212-989-7425. Cathy Fisher, [email protected], Amanda Nguyen, [email protected] POV online pressroom: www.pbs.org/pov/pressroom POV’s ‘Koch’ Is a Fascinating Portrait of the Larger-Than-Life New York City Mayor, Airing Monday, Sept. 22, 2014 on PBS An Inside Portrait of the Man and the City at a Time of Crisis and Re-invention. “Thrilling. A mayor and a metropolis linked by tumultuous events in the worst and best of times.” —Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal MEDIA ALERT – FACT SHEET National Dates: Neil Barsky’s Koch has its national broadcast premiere on Monday, Sept. 22, 2014 at 10 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) as part of the 27th season of POV (Point of View), American television’s longest-running independent documentary series. The film will stream on POV’s website, www.pbs.org/pov/koch/ from Sept. 23, 2014 – Oct. 22, 2014. The Film: New York City mayors have a world stage on which to strut, and they have made legendary use of it. Yet few have matched the bravado, combativeness and egocentricity that Ed Koch brought to the office during his three terms from 1978 to 1989. As Neil Barsky's Koch recounts, Koch was more than the blunt, funny man New Yorkers either loved or hated. Elected in the 1970s during the city's fiscal crisis, he was a new Democrat for the dawning Reagan era—fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Koch finds the former mayor politically active to the end (he died in 2013)—still winning the affection of many New Yorkers while driving others to distraction. Koch is a Zeitgeist Films Release.

Filmmaker Statement: “Making a documentary about Ed Koch was an easy call,” says Neil Barsky. “To this day, I cannot think of a New Yorker as popular or as polarizing. Ed Koch’s story is in many ways the story of the city. “I was born in the Bronx in 1958 and my family moved to the suburbs when I was 4. When I returned to the city to attend the Walden School on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, I was like a freed bird. New York in those days was dangerous, dirty and utterly dysfunctional; it was also magical. For most of Koch’s mayoralty, I was either a student or a young reporter, 1 of 3 and I would have given a kidney to cover City Hall for one of the city’s major newspapers. It was not to be, and on some level this film is my way of making up for the lost opportunity. “Koch proved a perfectly complex character. He was funny and he could be a bully; he was charming and also narcissistic. He had a much-speculated-about private life, and he didn’t mind if you asked about it, so long as you didn’t mind being told to mind your own business. He was a man surrounded by friends and admirers, and he was a man alone. “From World War II and until only recently, it was almost an article of faith that the United States’ big northern cities only deteriorated; they could never get better. Somehow, New York City defied that trend, and it did so, I think, because it kept itself open—to immigrants, to business, to artists and poets. In my view, the very imperfect Ed Koch intuitively understood what made New York special, and I believe he is as responsible for the New York City of today as anyone alive.” Filmmaker Bio: Neil Barsky (Director) Koch is Neil Barsky’s first documentary. He is currently the chairman and founder of The Marshall Project, a nonprofit journalism enterprise dedicated to covering the U.S. criminal justice system. Barsky began his career as a newspaper reporter, covering real estate and economic development for the New York Daily News and The Wall Street Journal. He subsequently became a Wall Street analyst and hedge fund manager. Barsky is a graduate of Oberlin College and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. He sits on the board of trustees of Oberlin College and the board of directors of the writing program Youth Communication and is chair of the Columbia Journalism Review board of overseers.

  • Why Is America So Punitive?
    Why is America So Punitive? A Report on the Deliberations of The Interdisciplinary Roundtable on Punitiveness in America Held at John Jay College of Criminal Justice April 2-3, 2015 Authors: Bettina Muenster and Jennifer Trone March 2016 Supported By: Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation which has a long history supporting research that leads to social change. In this instance, the Foundation hoped that a cross-pollination of perspectives could unpack the phenomenon of punitiveness in the operations of the American criminal justice system and, more importantly, illuminate the path forward to a more humane and effective response to crime. The Roundtable thus joins a larger portfolio of research and programmatic initiatives at MacArthur that are designed to find ways to reduce America’s reliance on incarceration while promoting public safety and justice. About Us The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation supports creative people, effective institutions, and influential networks building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. MacArthur is placing a few big bets that truly significant progress is possible on some of the world’s most pressing social challenges, including over-incarceration, global climate change, nuclear risk, and significantly increasing capital for the social sector. In addition to the MacArthur Fellows Program, the Foundation continues its historic commitments to the role of journalism in a responsible and responsive democracy; the strength and vitality of our headquarters city, Chicago; and generating new knowledge about critical issues. MacArthur is one of the nation's largest independent foundations.
