About the movie

“The only film ever to be shot candidly within the White House, Crisis captures events from all sides using the distinctive American cinéma vérité style pioneered by Robert Drew and his associates, whose cameras follow each participant as the crisis unfolds, up through its dramatic climax.” (Source: http://marchonwashingtonfilmfestival.org/films/crisis-behind-a-presidential-commitment/)
