A Man Among Giants
The film documents Tunstall's misadventures during his run for Mayor of Pawtucket, Rhode Island in 2006. As a former WWE pro-wrestler, and toy store elf, Tiny, a self-described "ghetto republican" has a difficult time being taken seriously.

In the words of The Boston Globe, "He is afraid of no one and, in more lucid moments, he advocates for America’s have-nots in the heartfelt words of a guy who knows whereof he speaks."Wrestling career
