Movie looks inside the Kwame Kilpatrick scandal

Kwame Kilpatrick is serving 28 years in Federal Prison after being found guilty of racketeering and other corruption charges. His father Bernard Kilpatrick was found guilty of filing a false tax return. He served 10 months and is currently on probation.

We go inside the Kwame Kilpatrick scandal and get a first look at the new documentary about his life.

Several people are seen in their most private moments including Kwame, his wife Carlita, his three sons, Christine Beatty, the former Mayor’s Chief of Staff and lover, who along with the Mayor was found guilty of Perjury, Bernard Kilpatrick and Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick, who lost her reelection to the U.S. Congress after her son’s scandal dominated Detroit.
