In private meetings and caucuses, as well as on the floor of Congress, we watch Newt Gingrich and his troops battle their Democratic opponents over the ten points of the “Contract with America.” Hosted by journalist Don Lambro.

“When I was told PBS was going to do a balanced piece on Republicans, I said I’d have to see it to believe it. It’s new, it’s different, it’s unprecedented, but I appreciate it.”

        As quoted by Associated Press

A graphic inside look at what has happened to American politics in the past year, a splendid, even-handed documentary.
