- The film puts former politicians on the spot and forces them to speak candidly.
- Documentary will be eligible for the Awards season release window.
The new documentary ‘The Corridors of Power’ will emphasize, when it debuts later this month. The explosive movie aims to chart America’s rise to the rank of a worldwide superpower and what price the nation paid for this title with a release window that makes it eligible for the Awards season.
In the words of the Beyoncé song, “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM.” We are all aware of the country’s internal problems, but the problems are magnified when it comes to how the United States conducts itself abroad.
The Corridors of Power trailer hints that the documentary is not interested in treating the matter lightly by beginning with a shot that is difficult to watch since you know what is going to happen next.
The short answer is “not well” when it comes to how America responded to reports of genocide, war crimes, and mass atrocities following the fall of the Soviet Union. The film also puts former politicians on the spot and forces them to speak candidly.
Madeleine Albright, James Baker, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, and Hillary Clinton are among the people who were present to see firsthand what was happening in the early 1990s in the corridors of power who are interviewed in the movie.
Additionally, the trailer implies that the past and present are closely related and that the film will connect the dots to demonstrate how the Soviet Union incident shaped American policy toward nations like Rwanda, Bosnia, Syria, Libya, and Iraq even now.
Dror Moreh, an Oscar candidate for his direction of The Corridors of Power, is renowned for not holding back when examining the intricate connection between politics and foreign policy.
The Human Factor, a documentary that details a 30-year effort to address issues in the Middle East, was directed by Moreh in 2019.
The Gatekeepers, a critically acclaimed film directed by Moreh, was about Israeli security guards who had to guard their country’s deepest secrets.
Early screenings of the planned documentary were shown at AFI Fest and Telluride Film Festival this year.
The Corridors of Power has received praise for being both “disturbing” and “illuminating” throughout its run. Todd McCarthy writes in his review for Deadline that the film offers “an utterly engrossing smorgasbord of insider views, informed analysis, historical perspective, and political variables that cumulatively present a depressing analysis of the human condition, one that all too persuasively suggests that conflict is the most elemental fact of life.”
The Corridors of Power will have its theatrical debut on Showtime on November 25 in New York, November 26 in Los Angeles, and December 2 in Washington, D.C.
The trailer is available to view below:
The official synopsis can be found here:
The compelling analysis of American officials’ reactions to accusations of genocide, war crimes, and mass atrocities after the fall of the Soviet Union, when America was the sole superpower on the planet, is presented in “The Corridors of Power.” In-depth interviews, rare historical video, and cutting-edge CGI animations are all combined in Moreh’s work to provide audiences a rare chance to see behind-the-scenes action and news headlines in order to better comprehend not just the “what,” but also the “why.” The movie explains how our past mistakes can determine our future through interviews with illustrious figures including Madeleine Albright, James Baker, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, and Hillary Clinton.
