Movie Haiku:Barsky''s doc about 3-time mayor Ed Koch is well-researched & informative but too NYC-Centric. Following the money leads Barsky to credit Koch with transforming the physical infrastructure of the NYC & that''s fine. But didn''t Ed Koch think of himself as someone who played not just on our national stage, but also on the world stage as well? Non-New Yorkers need to know why to care.
