This comprehensive examination of the political scenario was proposed back in 20th December 2019, and the series came to fruition the year after that. Standing at this point, Obama’s promise of uniting the country is no longer applicable. Instead, by the time his presidency had ended, the country was divided more than ever.

What was the response to the documentary?

Brian Lowery of CNN network had nothing but praise for this series, stating that it will make the viewer wonder whether this nastiness that is associated with the political discourse nowadays can ever be changed. John Doyle from “The Globe and the Mail” thought that the show was often sobering and unnerving as it explores the central threads that led to the election of President Trump. If you enjoy political documentaries, you should give this a watch.
