The Mayor: Age of Riley, directed by Barbara Tranter and produced by Jennet Robinson Alterman, follows the career of Charleston Mayor Joe Riley’s remarkable four decade tenure. The film features interviews with Mayor Riley and those who found favor (and disfavor) with his vision for the city. The film begins with a 1969 hospital strike and follows Riley’s battles over historical design, Hurricane Hugo, his appointment of the city’s first black police chief, the flying of the Confederate battle flag, gentrification, the closing of Charleston’s Naval Shipyard, and the Emanuel AME tragedy. Watch Thursday, April 14 at 8 p.m. on South Carolina ETV.
