Run time: 88 min. | USA
Academy Award Winning filmmaker Barry Levinson (AFF’s 2004 Distinguished Screenwriter Award Recipient) takes an in-depth look at the Democratic and Republican national conventions held during the 2008 U.S. Presidential election from the point of view of the Creative Coalition, a group of actors and filmmakers. Drawing from past elections, Levinson looks at the effects Hollywood and the media have had on our election process.

The parts about celebrities' roles in the public sphere? Interesting. The parts about Levinson's unabashed railings against television, McLuhan revisited? Not.
