The Criterion Collection Releases “The War Room”

The Takeaway

We’re joined by documentary filmmakers  D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, who followed Bill Clinton’s campaign staff during his 1992 Presidential campaign. The resulting film “The War Room,” was a quick classic, giving viewers a peek behind the curtain of American politics. Last week “The War Room” was released as part of the Criterion Collection on DVD and Blu-ray. D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus co-directed the 1993 documentary “The War Room.”
