...Another documentary, "Journeys With George," is Alexandra Pelosi's digital minicam view from inside the 2000 Bush presidential campaign. (Ms. Pelosi, an NBC News producer, began "Journeys" as a side project. It moved to center stage when her candidate was elected.) It takes aim at several journalists but is most fascinating because of the way it dwells on the fine line between being the manipulator and the manipulated. Mr. Bush and Ms. Pelosi are canny stalkers, he with his jovial, fraternity-president charm and she with her loud outfits and an apparently scattered manner that masks her determination.Her shopping mall technology probably made Mr. Bush drop his guard a bit, and she gets more out of her camera just because of propinquity. But he never lets his guard down too far; his savvy with the press means he's always playing the candidate at some level, and she's charmed by the character he's playing.
"Journeys" is a sea change from the tradition of Timothy Crouse's "Boys on the Bus," primarily because it may well be the last opportunity for such a worm's-eye view of a presidential candidate. It's hard to believe campaign advisers will ever be this relaxed and accommodating around the press again. ("Journeys With George" has just been picked up by HBO.)...
