Film Screening: Our Brand is Crisis, noon, 238 HRCB; enjoy the
aftermath of the U.S. presidential election by seeing what happened
when American political consultants became deeply involved in a Latin
American campaign. Documentary filmmaker Rachel Boynton is embedded with
associates of James Carville’s consultancy firm GCS. Their mission is
to help controversial candidate Gonzalo “Goni” Sanchez de Lozada reclaim
the Bolivian presidency. The film reveals the manipulation and
orchestration involved in big-time political campaigning. With only a
few weeks before the election, consultants Jeremy Rosner, Stan
Greenberg, and James Carville work their magic, reframing Goni into the
ideal candidate, raising questions about the political process both at
home and internationally.
