“Rent is Too Damn High” founder Jimmy McMillan to become movie star

“DAMN!” — a documentary about Jimmy McMillan and his “Rent is Too Damn High” bid for governor of New York — is being produced by filmmakers Aaron Fisher-Cohen and Kristian Almgren and is set to premiere in March. “This is why the people in this state and all across America don’t have anything,” McMillan says in the teaser above from Gothamist. “Rent is too damn high — it’s not a joke; it’s serious… People are hurting,” he adds. In the movie, McMillan says that he represents the voice of the people and that he speaks for “the anger of the people and the frustration of the people.” He also thanks everyone for supporting him. “Yes, we can do this, we can win it,” he says. “I appreciate you all showing me crazy love.”
