Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story (2008)
Part Greek Tragedy, Part Horror Film

The film is a fascinating look at a man who profoundly changed the tenor of modern political campaigns.
Stefan Forbes does an excellent job of charting Lee Atwater's political life, and you get enough of the personal to get a sense of the complexities of the man. As you hear stories told by people who are still very active in politics todayEd Rollins, Terry McAuliffe and Tucker Eskew it's easy to make a connection between Atwater's political legacy and current election dramas . . . It's something to see Tucker Eskew speak with such glowing admiration of Lee Atwater knowing that he was recently hired by the McCain campaign!!!
I really enjoyed the filmfound it entertaining and enlightening.
