Bush's Brain

PG-13 for brief strong language

Karl Rove was a confidante of the Bush family long before he became advisor-in-chief to the sitting President, and in this current capacity he has maneuvered in ways that many feel are questionable at best. Without Rove's Machiavellian strategizing, George W.'s career might have remained a political footnote.

Filmmakers Joseph Mealey and Michael Shoob have crafted a revealing documentary about Rove, a fascinating and controversial man who is commonly acknowledged to be one of the brightest players in Washington.

Genre - Documentary
