The War Room (Criterion Collection)

The 1992 presidential election was a triumph not only for Bill 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 thrilling, behind-closed-doors account of that campaign, renowned filmmakers D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus closely followed the brainstorming sessions of Clinton’s crack team of consultants—especially the folksy James Carville and the preppy George Stephanopoulos, who became media stars in their own right. 1993/color/96 min/NR/fullscreen.
