New Showbiz Analysis

Winning New Hampshire serves as a journalistic observation of the 2004 political cycle. It prioritizes the documentation of established electoral traditions and the John Kerry campaign over the exploration of overlapping identities. The film's structure captures the essence of the New Hampshire Primary and the influence of the media. It functions as a study of political processes rather than a tool for social change. Ultimately, the work reflects the demographic and institutional realities of the early 2000s political landscape. It documents a specific moment in American democracy without actively challenging traditional social hierarchies.

Official Synopsis

Every four years, the citizens of the United States of America perform their most sacred national duty: electing a President to lead the country. For the last five decades, the fiercely independent residents of one small Northeastern state have played a vital role in this search. Before the election, before the conventions, before a presumptive nominee is chosen, there is New Hampshire . Winning New Hampshire is the 2004 edition of this American tradition. The film captures the essence of the New Hampshire Primary, what it takes to win, the effects of the media and the new political youth movement. With a focus on the John Kerry Campaign, the winner of both the New Hampshire Primary and the Democratic Nomination, Winning New Hampshire provides an experience of this extraordinary political phenomenin and presents a distinctly new perspective of the Presidential selection process.
