Wag the Dog with Shir Reuben

Eleven days before the US presidential election, a scandal is about to break: the president has had an illicit relationship with a minor. To bury the disgrace and save the incumbent, a spin doctor is rushed to the White House. In a stroke of genius, he enlists his friend, a senior and powerful Hollywood producer, to manufacture a small war for him. Not a real one, but enough to grab the headlines and restore the president's former glory. With its seasoned cast and a venomous script by David Mamet, while the Monica Lewinsky affair was still fresh in memory, Barry Levinson created this satire. "Wag the Dog" was made in the mid-nineties. Three decades have passed since, and it must be admitted that the film predicted well where we would end up. It is an excellent satire about politics, the media and the desire we all share to be part of a comforting heroic story.
