    Mile high: a simple lesson how to become the President.

    Well, I waited for this movie for a long time, and finally, a few days ago I've had the great opportunity to watch this documentary, and not only, as I think, it's very interesting movie, which is built on the interviews, dialogues and exclusive materials – videos and photos of candidates on the President's Post, - John McCain's and Barack Obama's in the time of General election in 2008 .

    So, this movie is a nice couple of interviews, comments and personal standpoints of the famous people, - former U.S. Presidents, showmen and actors (I want to say, that well-known actor and Master of Martial arts Chuck Norris is also taking part in this movie and commented about the politic and the economic system of the U.S.)…

    Also I've found in this movie a lot of good, fresh and really useful news, info, and now I understand that I want to re watch it again, to get more impressions, to find something new in the movie again. Actually, here's very informative, nice, good documentary about our country, politic, public systems of it, and thus I want that You watch this movie, which You'll definitely like, be sure in this.

    Finally, for the information, flashing back of the past times' events, for everything, that I liked in the movie, it's mark is 10 out of 10.
