NewsNation to present original documentary 'Clinton: Portrait of a Presidency'

NewsNation will present “Clinton: Portrait of a Presidency,” an original documentary produced by NewsNation Films, on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 8 p.m. ET. Narrated by Emmy- and Grammy-award winning actor Blair Underwood, the two-hour film will examine an unprecedented time of peace and prosperity in America under the leadership of President William Jefferson Clinton. The CW Network will carry a simulcast of the documentary nationwide.

The documentary features key events that took place during Clinton’s presidency, and tells a story of economic renewal, compromise, peace and human frailty.  During the Clinton era, the federal government achieved the highest budget surplus in its history and American families thrived in a booming economy. Clinton left office with the American public giving him the highest approval rating in history, despite a scandal that rocked his presidency.

Viewers will hear from James Carville, political commentator and chief strategist for Clinton’s ’92 presidential campaign; Governor Terry McAuliffe, co-chair of Clinton’s re-election bid and former head of the Democratic National Committee; Michael Isikoff, author of “Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story” and the journalist who discovered Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky; fellow Rhodes scholar and former Congressman Tom McMillen (D-Maryland); and Dr. Jay Barth, director of the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum.  

This is the second installment in NewsNation’s “Portrait of a Presidency” series. In June, “Reagan: Portrait of a Presidency” debuted on the cable news network.  On Saturday, Nov. 2, The CW will air an encore presentation of that film at 8 p.m. ET.
