Obama

With unprecedented access to Barack Obama’s White House, this series from Norma Percy’s acclaimed documentary team (The Death Of Yugoslavia, Putin, Russia & The West, The Iraq War) tells the inside stories of Obama’s greatest successes and failures. Four one-hour programmes look at how he brought America out of the Great Recession faster than anywhere else; how his triumphant reform of America's healthcare system was followed by defeat at the polls at the hands of the Tea Party; the inside story of the secret nuclear negotiations with Iran; and how he has so far failed to close down Guantanamo or pass gun control. This is one of the most important stories of our times, told with Norma Percy’s trademark distinctiveness.
