Link to Panorama: What now Mr. president? documentary
Documentary Description
Barack Obama takes over as US President with a promise to dramatically
change America and make it a fairer place. He is inheriting the worst
economic crisis in almost a century, and a country so unequal that
23,000 people die every year because they cannot afford basic
healthcare.
To close the gap between rich and poor Obama will have to take on the
might of the corporate world, which wields enormous influence in
Washington. Can he change the world's most powerful country, and should
he?
