Politics is a lot like show business.

You have just watched the trailer for The Road We’ve Traveled. Already 2 months ago this incredibly well made 17 minute short film narrated by Tom Hanks about President Obama’s first term in the White House was made. Director Davis Guggenheim and Barack joined forces for the 2nd time. Davis also Directed Barack’s 2008 ‘A Mother’s Promise: Barack’s Biography’. This film played at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, prior to Barack’s overwhelming acceptance speech. Click here to watch the biopic. So now the director of the Oscar winning helmer of Al Gore’s global warming film An Inconvenient Truth returns with this great mini-documentary that eschews day-to-day headlines for a reminder of the perilous economic moment in which Obama ascended to the presidency, using sit down interviews with his closest advisers to paint a picture of a fearless leader tackling seemingly impossible problems.
