Filth City
Filth City is a 2017 Canadian comedy film, directed by Andy King.
The film stars Pat Thornton as Mayor Hogg, the mayor of York City who is embroiled in a political scandal. The film is loosely based on the crack cocaine scandal surrounding former Toronto mayor Rob Ford. The cast also includes Melinda Shankar, Andy King, Danny Polishchuk, Melanie Nicholls-King, Lenno Britos, Michael Copeman, Brian Kaulback, Kayla Lorette, Brooks Gray and Chris Locke.
The film was shot in Hamilton, Ontario in fall 2015. The film was originally scheduled to be released as a television film on Super Channel in 2016, but following that service's bankruptcy, it instead premiered theatrically at the 2017 Canadian Filmmakers' Festival.
Rob Ford's brother, Doug Ford, denounced the film and threatened King by saying, "Make sure he is not crossing the street when I am driving down the road." King called his threat "outrageous".
