Lovely to see behind the scenes of the campaign and different sides of Obama and his family. It's pretty straightforward. Good but I expected more, especially with Edward Norton out promoting it.

Inspiring and candid documentary about Barack Obama's campaign. Truly moving and very well made. I'd be interested in seeing the same quality of filmmaking in a documentary about John McCain's campaign.

It's been a year since the election that made history, and now that we've moved on back to our normal lives, that united feeling is gone away. Maybe that's just me. This movie is a great reminder of how it felt those months leading up to (spoiler alert) Obama's win. The great thing about this film is that these two women thought they were just following this energetic Illinois senator around. They had no idea they were inside of one the most significant moments in history. That gives the footage a fly on the wall perspective that I've rarely seen in a documentary. Right after watching it, I knew this was a must own for the library.

This movie brought back the nastalsia that I had during the historic campaign Of Barack Obama.

It might not be the best documentary in the world but the story of our president's campaign is impressive. "I will never forget that the only reason I'm here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. Stood up when it was hard. Stood up when it wasn't popular. And because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. And then a few thousand stood up. And then a few million stoop up. And standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they managed to change the world." Barack Obama Jan. 8, 2008
