Year One: A Political Odyssey

Matt Roush says...

Beginning on Inauguration Day 2021 in the shadow of the Jan. 6 insurrection and continuing through the State of the Union speech in March 2022, an immersive documentary from Emmy-winning director John Maggio and New York Times reporter David Sanger follows President Joe Biden and his administration through its eventful first year. With access to key players in Biden’s cabinet, the film addresses multiple challenges including the evolving pandemic, the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, the nation’s political polarization and tense relations with China and especially Russia, whose invasion of Ukraine in February set the world on edge.
