Watch Call of Duty

A profile of New York City Jury Duty Clerk Walter Schretzman, who has learned how to lull thousands of his fellow grumpy New Yorkers into Jury Duty compliance. He plays the role of Government worker, crisis negotiator and borscht belt comedian while sharing his wisdom with Jurors during their days together. Given access to the normally restricted waiting area of a New York Court building, director Matt Lenski paints a brief but comic and profound portrait of the intersection between professionalism, entertainment and civic responsibility.
