"By the People: The Election of Barack Obama": New Documentary on Barack Obama's Historic Presidential Run

Tuesday, November 3, 2009 :Tomorrow will mark one year since President Obama's historic election as the nation's first African American president. A new documentary tracks Obama's seemingly improbable road to the White House with an unprecedented look at his campaign. Filmmakers Amy Rice and Alicia Sams began following Obama in May 2006, eight months before he announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination. Their film is as much a look at the campaign behind the scenes as it is at the grassroots movement of supporters that propelled Obama to victory.
