Summaries

Follows the Bill Clinton 1992 presidential campaign and the organization who ran it.

A behind-the-scenes documentary about the Clinton for President campaign, focusing on the adventures of spin doctors James Carville and George Stephanopoulos. Bill Clinton himself is almost never seen.—Tim Horrigan <[email protected]>

A profile of the 1992 US presidential election is presented, focusing not only on the campaign of Bill Clinton, the eventual victor who was largely seen as the underdog especially in the early going of the Democratic Party primaries, but mostly of his campaign's war room led by Chief Strategist James Carville and Communications Director George Stephanopoulos. The footage is largely unadulterated i.e. without added "talking head" commentary, and is mostly of the war room workings with Carville and Stephanopoulos directing the campaign team. One of the odder behind the scenes aspects but which was well known at least by the media was that Carville's then girlfriend and who would become his wife, Mary Matalin, was the Deputy Strategist of the opposing campaign of then President George Bush.—Huggo
