The Reagan Show

Since taking over the presidency, Trump’s approach has been likened most to former President Ronald. The Hollywood star-turned-politician used his acting to skills to present a telegenic administration while helping to push through swingeing cuts to the federal budget while ramping up military spending during the depths of the Cold War. A new documentary, The Reagan Show, uses hours of footage, much recorded by the president’s own administration, to capture the absurdity and pageantry that became its hallmark. Isabel Fraser to speaks to director Pacho Rvelez.
