00:00I remember getting a call from this guy who said he had a video of Ford smoking crack.

00:06It feels like a really important moment in time, you know.

00:10It's before social media had exploded the world.

00:13It was during a time of, you know, polarisation in politics.

00:18And it was tapping into that moment, but through, you know, Rob Ford's mayoralty.

00:24And I think that's an amazing way of, you know, the recent nostalgia of, like, the tens.

00:30And I think Rob Ford really encapsulates that.

00:34And so, yeah, I thought this would be a brilliant project to be able to look at politics on a local level.

00:40But what does that tell us about, you know, the world that we live in today?

00:44And I think we can take a lot of messages, you know, from this period of time in Toronto and Rob Ford's, you know,

00:50meteoric rise, but also, you know, his eventual sort of downfall.

00:55I think it's a story about the underdog.

00:59And I think we've seen it in elections around the world.

01:03You know, for instance, here in the UK, we had the Brexit referendum,

01:07which, you know, people kind of casted off as thinking, you know, that's not going to happen.

01:12You know, in the States, there was, you know, the first election of Donald Trump,

01:16where a lot of people in the quote-unquote establishment thought that he wouldn't, you know, get into power.

01:21That happened.

01:22I think there's a story of, you know, listening and to, you know, everyone around you,

01:29not just in your echo chamber.

01:31You know, Rob Ford wasn't necessarily a person who had, you know, malicious, vindictive, you know, outcomes.

01:39I think he actually seemed like he was a man of, he wanted to help people, but his politics just, you know,

01:46didn't necessarily agree with half of the city.

01:49So it was a case of getting a broad understanding of who he was and not getting an understanding of who he was just through the headlines.

01:57I wanted to, you know, really tap into the human being that is Rob Ford, not the political headline that's Rob Ford.

02:04The more I did research and the more I spoke to people, the more I realised that this was a man who was struggling with addiction

02:10on a really public space and a public platform.
