Festival history

The Return of the War Room revisits the people and themes of The War Room (1993), Hegedus and Pennebaker's behind-the-scenes look at the hard-charging campaign staff behind Bill Clinton's run for President in 1992. Virtually all the major players from original film are on hand to discuss the 1992 race and reflect on today's campaign strategies, including chief Clinton strategists James Carville and George Stephanopoulos; their colleagues Paul Begala, Bob Boorstin, Lisa Caputo, Rahm Emanuel, Stan Greenberg, Mandy Grunwald and Mickey Kantor; Republican campaign strategist Mary Matalin (now married to Carville); and journalist Mark Halperin.
