Documentary about Barack Obama’s final year in office, focusing on the team (and the foreign policy team in particular) rather than Obama himself; a fascinating and surprisingly moving look at global politics in action, shot through with the horror of hindsight as it becomes ever more clear that Trump will succeed.
