Art vs Commerce...

...or how to sell a difficult subject to the Americans.

Death of a President US Trailer

Conceived as a fictional TV documentary broadcast in 2008, reflecting on another monstrously despicable and cataclysmic event: the assassination of President George W. Bush on October 19th, 2007. The “documentary” combines archival footage and carefully composed interviews, presented in a respectful and dignified manner.



I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it - hurrah for getting a theatrical release - it's just interesting to note the language used.
