Brian Springer recorded 500 hours of direct satellite feeds to offer viewers an unprecedented glimpse behind the scenes of a modern, built for television presidential campaign in his 1992 presidential campaign documentary, Spin.
It provides a remarkable look into the personalities and tactics of the politicians in that race, as well as the often cynical media manipulation that is so common in politics. The campaign, of course, resulted in the election of Bill Clinton as President of the United States and he appears in the documentary often. In addition to Clinton, Spin also captures moments with Jim Bakker, Tom Brokaw, Jerry Brown, President George Herbert Walker Bush, Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, Jerry Falwell, Al Gore, Tipper Gore, Larry King, Ross Perot, Dan Quayle, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, and Paul Tsongas.
Spin is 57:26 long:
