CNN Presents1993

Host:
In politics, most of the media coverage focuses on the candidates, of course. But a big part of the political battle takes place behind the scenes. Welcome again to CNN PRESENTS. I'm Aaron Brown. It is a battle fought by political operatives and strategists and hundreds, thousands of volunteers, all locked in a mad dash to sway the hearts and minds of voters across the country. Capturing the drama of that behind-the-scenes battle is what we had in mind when we sent producer Kate Albright-Hanna and her camera into the presidential fray. Little did we know that she would witness one of the most remarkable presidential runs of modern times - the campaign of former Vermont Governor Howard Dean. Kate and her camera followed campaign manager Joe Trippi and his unlikely band of warriors, as they helped Dean surge to the brink of the nomination, only to watch it collapse in Iowa, and then in New Hampshire. From footnote to front-runner to flame-out, CNN PRESENTS "True Believers: Life Inside the Dean Campaign."
