It’s a Wonderful Life. Nothing much rattles the citizens of this quiet country borough. They pay their taxes, vote conservatively, and don’t consider someone a native unless their roots can be traced back for several generations.If Milford is the real-life version of Capra’s cinematic Bedford Falls, then Sean Strub is its George Bailey.
We meet Strub in the opening moment of Max Westerman’s new documentary, My Friend, The Mayor: Small-Town Democracy in the Age of Trump, as Strub helped coax a neighbor’s cat out of a tree.
It may be the most excitement they will encounter on this particular day, and that suits them just fine.Ah, but political intrigue awaits.
