By the People: The Election of Barack Obama

Inspired by the freshman senator’s dynamism, potential and star-making speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004, BY THE PEOPLE: The Election of Barack Obama follows the former Senator from the announcement of his candidacy to his historic election and inauguration as the first African American president of the United States. Told through unprecedented and exclusive footage of Obama and his staff, including David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs, the film offers viewers an all-access pass to campaign life on the road to the White House.
