The 1992 presidentiaI election was a triumph not only for BiIl Clinton but also for the new breed of strategists who guided him to the White House and changed the face of politics in the process. For this thriIIing, behind-cIosed-doors account of that campaign, renowned cinema verité filmmakers D. A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop) and Chris Hegedus (Startup.com) cIosely foIIowed the brainstorming and buIl sessions of Clinton’s crack team of consultants—especiaIly the folksy James CarvilIe and the preppy George StephanopouIos, who became media stars in their own right as they injected a youthfuI spirit and spontaneity into the process of campaigning. Fleet-footed and entertaining, The War Room is a vivid document of a political moment whose truths (“It’s the economy, stupid!”) stiII ring in our ears. |
