- Summary:
- BOOGIE MAN brilliantly explains the transformation of American politics through the life of controversial strategist Lee Atwater, a blues-playing rogue whose rambunctious rise from hard-knuckled southern political strategist to Chairman of the GOP made him a household name. Atwater pioneered the modern GOP politics of fear and resentment, won the controversial 1988 Presidential Campaign, mentored Karl Rove and George W. Bush, and birthed the Tea Party and Donald Trump. With stunning never-before-seen footage, BOOGIE MAN is an eye-opening look at America's obsession with winning at all costs, our deepest fears, and our political system's disturbing descent into division and hatred.
