Leading French filmmaker William Karel analyses the first Presidential term of Barack Obama.

An epic tale of Obama's White House battles.

Since taking office, Obama has had to confront an economic crisis as well as an opposition determined to discredit him and destroy his agenda. The President has been forced to adapt his governing style, and to rein in his ambitions for change. The film goes behind the scenes of those political battles with interviews with Obama's main advisors and leading political analysts led by James Traub, political journalist for the New York Times Magazine.
