CHICAGO, March 8 (UPI) -- An upcoming Obama campaign documentary will highlight the horrible state of the U.S. economy in 2009, a trailer released Thursday said.
"The Road We've Traveled" is scheduled for release March 15, CBS News reported. The 17-minute film is narrated by Tom Hanks and produced by Davis Guggenheim, who directed Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth."
David Axelrod, a former senior White House aide who is now a leading campaign staffer, describes a meeting to discuss the economy when Barack Obama was president-elect.
"What was described in that meeting was an economic crisis beyond anything anybody had imagined," Axelrod says.
The film also looks at Obama's decision to send a Navy SEAL team into Pakistan to assassinate Osama bin Laden.
"He's all alone. This is his decision and nobody is standing there with him," Vice President Joe Biden says.
The movie encourages voters to take the long view.
"Do we look at the day's headlines, or do we remember what we as a country have been through?" Hanks asks as the trailer opens.
