Now there's a seat open on Stockton's beleaguered City Council. Twelve civic minded Stocktonians from all walks of life have stepped forward, applying for the open position, committed to the unenviable task of saving one of America's most struggling cities. 'Vacant Seat' follows five applicants through the appointment process, until one is chosen. In addition to shedding light on the increasing prevalence of municipal bankruptcies, the documentary provokes reflection about the role and importance of government by showing the very real struggles of a city and its residents fighting to survive. 'Vacant Seat' is a personal and funny glimpse into life, government and civic pride inside a bankrupt city. Written by Anonymous See less
