DESCRIPTION:BUSH'S BRAIN \n\nThis is a documentary about Karl Rove, "the first 
 'co-president' of the United States." The film is a Karl Rove primer. It 
 tells the Karl Rove story from the very beginning — from the time when he 
 was in high school. It chronicles his life during the Nixon years, when he 
 learned “dirty tricks” from some of the masters of the craft and then 
 quickly put them to work as a young political operative in Texas campaigns 
 of the late 1980s and early 1990s. George W. Bush could not have become 
 President without Karl Rove, the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain and the 
 man who has become known as “Bush’s Brain.” There would be no War 
 with Iraq without Karl Rove. There would be no Patriot Act without Karl 
 Rove. He was a virtuoso when it came to dividing America to elect his 
 candidate. This film takes you on a guided tour of Karl Rove’s undisputed 
 masterpiece of political artistry: the elections of George W. Bush. It 
 shows how he shaped, sculpted, and packaged a virtual political novice, 
 tranforming him into the President of the United States in less than a 
 decade. Through interviews with close friends, former opponents, campaign 
 operatives, politicians, journalists, and political pundits, this film 
 tells how Karl Rove pulled off an American political miracle: he tutored an 
 unpolished Texas oil man, a son of privilege who never had shown much of a 
 penchant for politics or anything else, a man who had made one ill-advised 
 run for Congress and then hung it up for good. From his masterful political 
 skills to the secret machinations he carefully orchestrated, Karl Rove has 
 been a new calibration in the idea of a “political advisor.” This film 
 makes an explosive case that he was one of the most powerful non-elected 
 officials in American history. \n\nBefore and after the film, everyone's
