Now he’s desperate to get his hands on that video. But so are Hogg’s many enemies, including his eco-friendly opponent (Kathleen Phillips); a vigilante cop out for revenge (Danny Polishchuck); a grieving girl on the run (Melinda Shankar) and a timid but tenacious journalist (Siobhan Murphy). They all want to take the Mayor down, but Hogg and his crew of dirty cops aren’t going out without a fight... 

Released online as both a feature film and digital series, FILTH CITY was acquired by Canal+ for distribution in the United States and internationally, and is currently available on TUBI. When the film made its world premiere at the Canadian Film Fest, Doug Ford - brother to former mayor of Toronto, the late Rob Ford, threatened to run over the director with his car if he saw him crossing the street.
