Sundance Channel will present The War Room Plus-Fifteen, a new documentary directed by Chris Hegedus and D-A Pennebaker, who depicted the inner workings of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign in their Academy Award-nominated documentary The War Room. The War Room Plus-Fifteen will feature some of The War Room's main characters as well as a crop of new politicos and take an in- depth look at how the political process and media culture have changed since the 1992 presidential election. Sundance Channel will premiere The War Room Plus-Fifteen in October 2008. Released in 1993, The War Room captured the reinvention of modern campaigning at the hands of Bill Clinton's election team, a nimble group led by the "Rajin' Cajun" James Carville and the articulate George Stephanopoulos.
