Obama campaign documentary in the works

I was web-prowling earlier today and came across this New York Times article about a documentary about the Obama presidential campaign. The documentary, slated for next Spring/Summer, is still in the works and has been picked up by HBO. Actor Edward Norton's Class 5 Films has been filming since 2004 and will continue to get footage until the Inauguration. These presidential campaign behind-the-scenes stuff is usually very exciting because you get to see the real person. In fact, I remember seeing Bush's "Journey's with George" and I remember being struck at how funny he was on the campaign trail - which was a far cry from the frown we always saw on TV. So, needless to say, I can't wait until the documentary is completed and distributed for mass consumption.
