    Waiting for Martin

    Advertisement
    2003     Documentary    
    Canada

    David Bernans has been trying to meet and debate Paul Martin for three years, running against him as an NDP candidate in his Montreal riding, attempting to pin him down on occasions ranging from private meetings to political rallies. In the process he encounters many obstacles, including security guards, police on horseback, and Paul Martin's campaign manager Lucy Castelli. He finds that Paul Martin is everywhere - on posters, billboards, TV screens and newspaper headlines - but never in flesh and blood. Which doesn't prevent David from asking a lot of questions and debating whoever is standing in for Martin, be it a giant Martin puppet made by student protesters or other ministers sent to represent the future prime minister.
