Films such as Fahrenheit 911, The R Word, and George Butler’s upcoming John Kerry feature display the growing trend and appeal of the political documentary, yet, Winning New Hampshire is the first independent film on the 2004 Presidential race and is the only one that addresses the emerging political youth movement. Rabbe, who began the project while John Kerry was polling in single digits, thinks the film captures a time of political passion and illustrates the carnival-esque nature of the first in the nation primary.
Winning New Hampshire will appeal to political junkies in the current political atmosphere, but filmmakers are also noting it as a keen endeavor. It received a nod from veteran filmmaker George Butler, who has also joined Winning New Hampshire as an Executive Producer.
