First screened at the
2006 Toronto Film Festival and shown in this country on More4, it is another
of those films that disillusioned American is becoming quite good at.
(See also CSA: Confederate States of America by Kevin Wilmott.) This
tells the story of what would happen if President George W. Bush was assassinated
in America. It tells the story convincingly webbing together footage
of archive, surveillance footage and good camerawork.
This is not a critique
of the current Bush administration. It highlights the inepititude
of the US government services and the scepticism or insatiable thirst for
justice firstly - justice over justice. It critiques a government
who have made a rod for their own proverbial back, for example the modification
of the Patriot Act that would lock up the innocent without charge.
It is well scripted especially
the use of the red herring of the black father until the last ten minutes.
This is a vital document about the legacy of the 43rd president and what
his impact in office has had on geo-political terms.
