The Housatonic Museum of Art presents HBO’s three-part documentary, OBAMA: IN PURSUIT OF A MORE PERFECT UNION.
The documentary, produced by Kunhardt Films, chronicles the personal and political journey of President Barack Obama, as the country grapples with its racial history. Weaving together conversations with colleagues, friends, and critics, and interspersed with his own speeches and news interviews, the series begins with Obama’s childhood and takes us through his perspective as the son of a white mother from Kansas and an African father, his spiritual formation by a generation of Black leaders, and his hopes for a more inclusive America. Through the story of one man irrevocably bound to the history of a country, OBAMA: IN PURSUIT OF A MORE PERFECT UNION reflects on the country’s past and present national identity.
The documentary screenings are available at:
- PART I: 7:00pm, Friday, February 18
