In the spring of 1987, a clear and undeniable front runner emerged in the race for the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination: Colorado Senator Gary Hart, whose smart, charismatic idealism and sheer excitement factor seemed all but destined for the White House and the making of a new chapter in American history. By April, Hart had opened up a gaping lead in the polls. Three weeks later, in a spectacularly public fall from grace, he was out of the race and Presidential politics forever. Jason Reitman’s The Front Runner explores the moment of Hart’s sudden downfall as a watershed for the nation.

Declaration
film director
“I wanted the style of the film to ask the audience to constantly decide what is most important to look at. The point isn’t to say we should never talk about personal flaws in politics, but rather to ask: what are we not talking about when that’s taking up all the focus? What questions are we giving up?”
