When he called himself "a skinny kid with a funny name" at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, his political star was already on the rise. By the time he decimated the competition in 2004 race for the Illinois Senate,... more » he was the bona fide golden child of a Democratic party desperately in need of a winner. In many ways, the story of Barack Obama is a uniquely American tale of the 21st century, where racial lines are blurry and the most interesting chapter is just beginning.« less

"Barack Obama has had a very fascinating life. This documentary was very informative and really gave you good perspective of where he came from and how it formed who he is today. This is a very limited updated version to include the Presidential race. I cannot wait until a true Presidential race and Election biography comes out!"

"This is very well put together. If you don't respect Obama before you see this, you will after you watch it. It let me know that he can relate to middle-class & lower class people. Thanks to the author who put the dvd together. Thanks to Amazon for carrying any & all items I am looking for.I always turn to Amazon for my learning needs."
Inspiring!

Obama Documentaries

"I share the same opinion as many who've seen this DVD. I mean it's alright, but I feel like I wanted to see something that confronted the issues and ideals of the campaign AND talked about his personal story. I've been following and working on Obama's campaign from the very start, and I have to say that it's been a long journey to success. I think that the best DVD I've seen so far has been President Barack Obama: The Man and His Journey. Vivendi Entertainment put it out, and it is really informative and comprehensive. It has the song by Brian McKnight, "Yes We Can," and of course his life story and the road to Congress. There are really good interviews and special features in general, too. Mainly, the story is presented in such a well rounded way, that I was even more impressed AFTER I watched it at how incredible Obama and the campaign have been. It officially comes out Inauguration Day--January 20th, I believe."
