Death Of A President (2006)




Winner of the International Critics' Prize at the Toronto Film Festival, "DEATH OF A PRESIDENT" is conceived as a fictional TV documentary broadcast in 2008, reflecting on a monstrously despicable and cataclysmic event: the assassination of President George W. Bush on October 19th, 2007. The "documentary" combines archival footage and carefully composed interviews, presented in a respectful and dignified manner. It is exciting and questioning, and it offers viewers a riveting story, creating a provocative political thriller that reveals larger truths. But the film doesn't advocate violence; rather, it shows the pernicious effects of violence

The film opens with ferocious energyas frenetically edited archival footage thrusts us into a raging crowd of protesters, waiting for President Bush's procession. The President is portrayed as a sympathetic and likable man-beloved by those close to him and charming to his followers. As the President gives a patriotic speech inside a hotel, the demonstrators' fury increases to the breaking point. The tension mounts until the horrible instant where the President is assassinated.

After the assassination, the film shifts into the style of a mystery, and follows the FBI's hunt for the assassin. All the suspects are interviewed except one-the Syrian man who is convicted and put on death row. There is much circumstantial evidence against him. But is he guilty of the crime? Or does his Middle Eastern origin provide a convenient excuse to label the death of the President as an Act of Terror?

Director Gabriel Range previously used the device of a "retrospective documentary" in his celebrated 2003 film "The Day Britain Stopped," about a chain of events that led to a breakdown of the country's transport system and nearly a hundred fatalities. Both of these films have been acclaimed for the technical virtuosity with which they combine archival footage and filmed scenes to create disturbingly real visions of catastrophes.

  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦                                                            ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦   The feature-length film is shockingly real and uses        ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  archive footage and documentary techniques to great       ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
   ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ effect.                                                  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  It is October 2007 and US foreign and domestic policies   ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦   have polarised the country's electorate. Arriving in       ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  Chicago to make a speech to business leaders, the         ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
   ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ President is confronted by a massive anti-war            ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  demonstration. Unperturbed, Bush goes ahead with the      ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦   visit. But as he leaves the venue he is gunned down by     ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  a sniper.                                                 ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
   ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ While a nation mourns, the hunt for his killer swings    ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  into action and the state apparatus tries to make sense   ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦   of this horrific attack on the administration. The         ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  investigation soon focuses on a Syrian-born man, Jamal    ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
   ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ Abu Zikri.                                               ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  Death of a President is a gripping drama that explores    ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦   the administration's responses to 9/11 and is inspired     ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
  ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦  by the real-life experiences of those caught up in the    ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
   ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 'War on Terror'.                                         ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
