89 minutes  American Faust: From Condi to Neo-Condi is a hard-hitting documentary about is a hard-hitting documentary about Condoleezza Rice, an extraordinary woman who rose out of segregated Alabama to become the most powerful woman in the world. Incisive and shocking, this is the first retrospective film on the Bush Administration.
By identifying Rice as the first senior Bush Administration official to select and order torture, this timely film answers many of the questions that Attorney General Eric Holder has been called upon to prosecute, and raises the prospect of a trial of the highest ranking government officials in US history.
The film features a wide-ranging palate of interviewees, including her three top biographers, both Presidents Bush, Henry Kissinger, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Oprah Winfrey, Dick Cheney, Brent Scowcroft, and Rice herself. Together, they paint a startling portrait of a woman who has changed our world but about whom most of us know very little.
A film by Sebastian Doggart. (Past credits include Wife Swap, 15 Films About Madonna, 30 Days and Project Runaway)
