In 2006, Doug “Tiny” Tunstall, a four-foot, seven-inch former wrestler and toy store elf, set upon a quest to become the mayor of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. He did so running as a Republican against the Democratic incumbent James Doyle. It truly was “the little man challenging the system”.
Boston filmmaker Rod Webber’s documentary A Man Among Giants is Tiny’s strangely fascinating story. The film will have a special advance screening Friday, March 27th, at the Somerville Theater.
Tiny will be in attendance. He’s one of the most high-spirited people you’ll ever meet, so expect to be entertained before, after, and perhaps even during the movie – a live, running commentary is well within Tiny’s uninhibited range abilities.
Webber will also be in attendance and ready to answer any of your questions. He also put together this promo video for the screening. (Warning: Language) …
