Bush declares the once-sleepy community his "home" away from the White House.

Later, as Bush began his bid for the presidency, he used the town as a means of justifying his folksy, down-home image. But as new shops

Unlike many political documentaries, this big-hearted, well-made film is genuinely interested in understanding both sides.

Focuses not on stereotypes but on human beings, who are a lot more complicated than red-and-blue, and the way political strategies touch their lives.

Modigliani is there from the beginning which helps bring potency and unexpected tragedy to the lives of both Bush's local supporters and his dissenters.

Immensely even-handed, entertaining, and because of the heroic determination of soft-spoken Misti Turbeville, incredibly affecting.
