Reply #14: "Journeys with George"

[elare]

Airing at 10 p.m. EST tonight on CBC Newsworld (on The Passionate Eye")

from the CBC website ..

"This is “Dubya” unplugged. The baloney and cheetos-eating, wisecracking Texan you didn’t see on TV… the real man behind the candidate. Shot with a digital camcorder, this video diary is the work of filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi (daughter of Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi), who was also covering the campaign for NBC News. It documents her year and a half-long road trip with George W. Bush as he struggled to evolve from a cowboy into a statesman. Besides documenting the drama behind the scenes of a political campaign, it exposes the unholy alliance between the reporters and the candidate and deconstructs how the U.S. elects their presidents."
