I have no idea how this incredible documentary slipped past me for almost 20 years. Filmmakers D.A Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus examine the inner workings of Bill Clinton's first White House campaign in the early 1990's, focusing on the wizardry of James Carville and George Stephanopoulos. THE WAR ROOM was just released in a beautiful new Blu-Ray edition that couldn't come at a more appropriate time as the Republicans are narrowing down their choice in the 2012 Presidential election. We all know how the 1992 election turned out, but watching this movie is still a thrilling ride. It plays like a suspense thriller as we watch a team of dedicated Staff Members jump hurdles and avoid land mines to ensure a Clinton/Gore victory. If you haven't seen THE WAR ROOM, do yourself a favor and seek it out. An outstanding political thriller that just happens to be a true story.
