Sebastian Doggart's award-winning film explains in depth how the ten year old girl who confidently told her father she would someday be in the White House got there and what happened when she did. The investigative documentary has no narration but is instead told entirely through interview clips of Condoleezza herself, her family, former fiancé, professors, mentors, colleagues, her supporters and her critics, and several authors and experts.

Three of Rice's best biographers backstop the timeline from Rice's birth in 1954 to her 2009 departure from the office of Secretary of State. Endorsed by: WAMM. FFI: Call 651-227-3228.

“Director and writer Sebastian Doggart’s documentary on the evolution of the life and politics of polarizing political figure Condoleezza Rice is an interesting film mostly because one might think that we lack the distance from the subject matter to give Dr. Rice a fair and unbiased account. Doggart would prove those naysayers wrong however, as he crafts a documentary that forgoes, for the most part, the relative ease of political bias and backbiting and instead chooses to present the events of Condi’s life in an almost clinical and emotionless way.” ---the “Film Snob” (FilmSnobbery.com)
