Boogie Man is the surprising story of Lee Atwater, the blues-playing rogue whose rambunctious rise from the South to Chairman of the GOP made him a political rock star. Atwater mentored Karl Rove and George W. Bush and without him, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush might never have been elected. A hero to Republicans for his unrepentant vision of politics as war, Atwater is reviled by Democrats as the godfather of modern negative campaigning. - Some use of profanity

Reviews

"Generous in spirit and nimble in technique, this riveting documentary about the Republican operative (who died of a brain tumor in 1991) reveals a scrappy genius rife with contradictions." - Jeannette Catsoulis, NY Times Critic's Pick
