The Final Year

"Barker has given us a film with much broader appeal, one that's not only absorbing but also essential in its depiction of humane, responsible leadership." - TheWrap

“With all the mayhem that has followed, the Obama years already feel somehow grassed over – a stately reminder of when politics was, well, kinda normal. This snappy, access-nearly-all-areas look at how his fiercely clued-up foreign policy team spent their final 12 months should feel almost nostalgic, then. Instead, it’s brimming with fascinating insights into the skill, conviction and sheer slog that went into tackling several rogue states, climate change and the odd dead cockroach on the West Wing floor without losing optimism, sanity or custody of the kids.

“Director Greg Barker spent the full 12 months with Obama’s team. Though he snags only a single interview with the POTUS himself, the film rides shotgun with key team members, including UN Ambassador Samantha Power, speechwriter Ben Rhodes, Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Advisor Susan Rice, as they race from trilateral talks to UN addresses to keynote speeches.

“Regardless of your political leanings, it’s hard not to feel inspired by the idealism and devotion of this group of people.” - Time Out
