“The most crucial and unique doc of the moment” – Time Out
Brimming with wit and political irony, The Reagan Show is an all-archival documentary that profiles Hollywood action man Ronald Reagan’s greatest role – leader of the free world.
Teasing apart the spectacle at the heart of finger-on-the-button global diplomacy, the film follows Ronald Reagan’s rivalry with the charismatic Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, tracing how the Communicator-in-Chief used his public relations chops to overcome Soviet mistrust, the objections of a sceptical press corps, and the looming threat of WWIII.
