This is What New Yorkers Say is an independently produced miniseries that dives deep into the resignation of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo — not through politicians or pundits, but through the raw, unfiltered voices of everyday New Yorkers.

Mainstream outlets rushed to condemn Cuomo, often bypassing careful fact-checking or a fair evaluation of the accusations. This series presents a very different reality — one in which many New Yorkers didn’t agree with his forced resignation and felt that the Governor was unfairly targeted. Through their voices, This is What New Yorkers Say questions the legitimacy of the political and media forces that led to Cuomo’s fall. It invites viewers to reconsider the official narrative and listen to perspectives that were largely left out of the national conversation.

But this story goes beyond Cuomo. New Yorkers reflect on issues that resonate across the nation: the fractured state of the Democratic Party, distrust in the media, and a questioning of whether movements like #MeToo are truly empowering women or being co-opted for other agendas. These reflections tap into a deeper national debate — one that challenges viewers to question who gets to shape public opinion and how justice is defined in America today.
