Description

This documentary from director Stefan Forbes examines the political and personal life of the late Lee Atwater, notorious for his no-holds-barred strategies that powered the campaign of George H.W. Bush. Forbes analyzes Atwater's pivotal role in the rise of the Republican Party in the 1980s, and also documents a decidedly less partisan side of the strategist, including his passion for playing the blues.

    I do wish this man's family the best. But I have no sympathy for him, even though he is at rest. This man helped ensure a "New Southern Strategy" from the "Old Sourthern Strategy". His legacy will be reviled and exalted by many. But his legacy will never be something worthy of envy. In the end he died like he lived, 'rented' and without pity.
