About this movie

A look at the inner workings of the Obama administration as they prepare to establish a legacy when leaving power after eight years. The film revolves around Obama’s foreign policy team: Secretary of State John Kerry, U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power, Deputy National Security Adviser and presidential confidant Ben Rhodes, as well as National Security Adviser Susan Rice and President Obama himself. Over the course of 2016, they travel the world attempting to solidify and “lock-in” policies that they believe will define their legacy, promote diplomacy over large-scale military action, and fundamentally alter how the U.S. government confronts questions of war and peace, as they prepare to hand over the machinery of American power to a new administration.

A bunch of leftist propaganda. This man did nothing great for this country. Eight years of attempted Communist rule, failed gun running to Mexico, soldiers left to die because of hillaries arms deals, paid ransom to terrorist countries, and nuclear materials sold to Russia, bit let's focus on the final weeks....

Funny how the comments say you are racist if you didn't like Obama. Can't those voting simply because he was (half) black, also be considered racist? The movie was a good look into the white house. But what those calling everyone racist do not see is how the (powers to be) used a black president to actually further divide our nation! Stop talking about how he was black and open your eyes! Look at how our leaders divide us each and every time! No matter who's the president! You would think that we the people would want our president to succeed and move our nation forward? But I truly believe that the Hate Trump crowd would rather we fail, if only to spite Trump! When in reality, I am betting most of your lives are better now than they were a few years ago! And I bet you don't have any trouble finding a job either! PS I voted for Obama in 2008 but he made America worse as a whole, so I wrote Ron Paul's in, in 2012! And I am a Republican!
