An absorbing, instructive, and entertaining documentary by R.J. Cutler (producer of The War Room) and David Van Taylor about the 1994 Virginia senatorial campaigns of incumbent Charles Robb and his main opponent, Oliver North. In addition to some delicious detailsNorth’s victory speech, for example, was converted with hardly any changes into a concession speechthis offers lots of depressing but useful information about how contemporary political campaigns are masterminded and executed.
