The Final Year

Camera crews followed Obama and some of his closest staff as they spent his final year of presidency trying to leave behind a positive legacy through many diplomatic undertakings. The documentary is definitely sympathetic to that he, John Kerry, and the others interviewed were in during this last year. One could possibly call it a biased portrayal, but then again it's hard not to like a president who is working tirelessly to make better connections with the nations of the world (whether or not you think he was successful). The documentary provides a rare intimate perspective into the presidency.

We had smart people in position of leadership in this country? Remember when people in the Obama administration traveled around the world and cared about the interests of other people on this planet? It seems like a lifetime ago. We may never have a President as bright and thoughtful as Barack Obama. It was refreshing to observe members of his staff and to hear some of Obama's speeches.

Hopefully, we will never have another President as woefully unfit and hateful as Donald Trump -- the worst President in U.S. history.

I liked this documentary but felt like it was a little slow paced at times. It was very interesting to watch them get closer and closer to Donald Trump becoming president and kind of heartbreaking at times.

All in all an ok political documentary, interesting to watch, would recommend it if you want to see the details of the Obama admin and what they were working on.

This is pretty much a cheerleader, promo piece. And I was once an Obama fan, and contributed heavily to his 2007-2008 campaign, enough to get invited to the inaugural. By 2011, I was disgusted and not only did I stop giving contributions, I quit the Democratic Party. But as for the film itself, it's little more than a long infomercial. I'm sorry I wasted my time.

Interesting approach, doesn't challenge but let's them talk and follows.

Samantha Powell, empathetic, humble, Africa, kids, nanny, Clash with Russian ambassador Ben Rhodes, smart, hard-working, doesn't love the media.

2016 Puff piece?

Very foreign focused Syria, ineffective Obama man who feels the weight of military action with no credible plan Ben Rhodes not another foreign war.

Frustration of getting politicians to candidly open up Well shot, well edited, natural feel.

Red line Soft power diplomacy Blindness trump dismissed over and over.

Speech writing 3 different views with Obama philosophy.
