Academy Award–winning director Barry Levinson sets out to explore the collision and collusion between politics and Hollywood, giving audiences a front-row seat and backroom access to the most significant presidential campaign of the twenty-first century – at least from the point of view of the Creative Coalition, a nonprofit organization of actors and filmmakers whose mission is social and political advocacy. Getting up close and personal with high-profile celebrities – actors, writers, directors, musicians – and powerful political figures alike, PoliWood examines the influence Hollywood has over the democratic process; it traces the thin line between politics and acting, news and entertainment, policy decisions and tabloid headlines – and it is sure to spark debate about the role media figures play at the highest levels of government. Interviews with dozens of stars ranging from Anne Hathaway and Annette Benning to Elvis Costello and Mos Def to Spike Lee and Susan Sarandon provide the framework to what Levinson calls his “film essay.” In cooperation with The Creative Coalition
