HBO and Comcast to Host Atlanta Premiere of the HBO Documentary Film 'BY THE
PEOPLE: THE ELECTION OF BARACK OBAMA' Thursday, October 22, 2009 at The Carter
Presidential Center
FILMMAKERS AMY RICE AND ALICIA SAMS ARE SCHEDULED TO ATTEND
What: HBO and Comcast will co-host the invitation-only Atlanta
premiere of BY THE PEOPLE: THE ELECTION OF BARACK OBAMA at
The Carter Center. For nearly two years filmmakers Amy Rice
and Alicia Sams found themselves travelling all across the
country, chronicling the daily ups and downs of the campaign
trail as experienced by Barack Obama, his family, his staff
and volunteers. While Obama's meteoric rise to the White
House has been well documented in the press, few have
witnessed the behind-the-scenes story of the passionate
campaigners who helped a young African-American freshman
senator attain the nation's highest office.
