Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story

Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story, discusses not just Lee Atwaters life but also many different aspects insid politics that I was unaware of. I do not know a great deal about politics to begin with and never actually have been interested in it but this documentry kept me interested through the entire film. Lee Atwater was constantly nervous about his position in the political structure, it seemed he always wanted to be accepted. The film gave a perspective of politics being evil and and mnipulative. There was a good variety of people interviewed that brought up different issues of poitics. The end was emotional to see him battle canceer like that and this definitely provoked an emotional aspect from the audience. The film took a complete turn from resenting the bad things that the politicians did to feeling bad for him during his battle with cancer.
