| President Barack Obama |
This was a very well made documentary and basically is about the people involved in Obama's campaign in his dramatic rise to prominence between 2004-2008. Anybody who doubts their own capability or thinks that because of their colour, religion, gender, etc. they cannot succeed, must watch this documentary.
It portrays the indomitable spirit of a man who despite being African-American., despite having an usual name which rhymes with Osama and has Hussein as a middle-name, despite having very little political experience, managed to capture the imagination of a nation and was elected the 44th President of the United States of America.
Irrespective of whether you are a supporter of Obama or not, who cannot remain unmoved and uninspired by his meteoric rise to power and international super-celebrity status even before he was elected president.
The show features both the highs and the lows of the campaign - the high being Iowa and the low being New Hampshire primaries and the controversy about Obama's pastor. In it you will see how a man who is determined to succeed and does not quit even in the face of the highest challenge is able to overcome all these challenges and succeed.
I would recommend this documentary. I bought it from Crossword at the Select City Walk Mall in Saket, but I am sure that it is available in many other places as well.
Interestingly, I watched this show on the eve of President Obama's arrival in India.
