Year One: A Political Odyssey

Bookended by Inauguration Day 2021 and March 2022's State of the Union, Year One: A Political Odyssey gives a front-seat account of President Biden's turbulent first year in office. Directed by Emmy®-winning filmmaker John Maggio (HBO's A Choice of Weapons: Inspired by Gordon Parks) and executive produced by journalist David Sanger (HBO's A Perfect Weapon), this eye-opening documentary follows the Biden administration as it navigates a maelstrom of challenges, including efforts to immunize the nation amid an ever-morphing pandemic, continued divisiveness following January 6th, the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the rise of autocratic regimes across the globe, and increasingly adversarial relations with Russia and China. Exploring developing situations as they unfold, the film grants unprecedented access to current events in a fascinating portrait of history as it happens.
