Fifteen years after the behind the scenes of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign in The War Room, filmmakers Hegedus and Pennebaker revisit the world of presidential campaigning with The Return of the War Room. A Sundance Channel original production, The Return of the War Room gathers together the major players from the original film - including James Carville, George Stephanopoulos, Mary Matalin, Paul Begala and Dee Dee Myers—to look back at a campaign organization that changed the way races are run. As these and other political insiders recall the rollercoaster days of 1992, The Return of the War Room explores how the political process and media culture have changed since Clinton took office. The result is an entertaining, thought-provoking look at the American election cycle, then and now.
