A unique insiders' account of President Barack Obama's foreign policy team during their last year in office. Filmmaker Greg Barker gained access in 2016, to key members of outgoing administration – Secretary of State John Kerry, Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, confidant and speechwriter Ben Rhodes and others – for an unprecedented look at the shaping of US foreign policy. The globe-trotting journey makes stops on multiple continents. Rhodes, who’s described as sharing a“mind meld” with Obama, joins the President on historic visits to Saigon, Hiroshima, and Havana. Power seeks to put ordinary people at the heart of foreign policy in Nigeria and Cameroon. Kerry negotiates at the United Nations for a Syrian ceasefire and bears witness to global warming in Greenland. Every move they make stirs reactions from the media, Congress, and the public. While history books will be better equipped to explore political complexities, Barker’s film excels at showing us the humanity of these policy makers in times of breakthroughs, setbacks, and tragedies. As we gain distance from the Obama era, the film will serve as a vital document of that time.
