Death of a President

A highly-controversial, captivating, unsettling, and eerily realistic pseudo documentary/mock drama that uses fictional flip clips, news reel footage, and interviews with a former special advisor to the president (Becky Ann Baker), a joint terrorism task force member (Christian Stolte), a former head of the presidential protection detail (Brian Boland), potential suspects (Malik Bader, Neko Parham, et al.), a first deputy superintendent for the Chicago police department (Robert Mangiardi), a Secret Service agent (Michael Reilly Burke), a former White House correspondent for the Washington Post (Jay Patterson), and a former FBI forensic examiner (James Urbaniak) to speculate about the events leading up to and the aftermath of the unsurprising assassination of President George W. Bush on Oct. 19, 2007, at the Chicago Sheraton amidst a multitude of angry protestors after his speech at the Economic Club and to explore the turbulent, emotionally charged political climate in the United States that fueled the murder.
