I don't give 10s often, but this film deeply moved me in ways I did not expect. After watching the trailer, I actually waited several weeks before taking the time to see it.
The contrast between a president, who meant so much to so many, and the current occupant of the White House was emotionally devastating. I was, oddly enough for the first time, forced to confront the fact that one of the loudest supporters of the 'Birther' movement, somehow weaseled his way into the White House, stoking fear and hatred, meanwhile demeaning the integrity of the office.
The photography featured in the film was mostly new to me. I lived abroad during the Obama years and was removed from American politics. This was the perfect time to watch a perfect film and reflect on what it means to elect a person to the White House as well as character traits that are vital to the occupant. I commend the filmmakers for a master-crafted, moving, work of art.
