CNN's Race for the White House Series Screening Opportunities at the Eisenhower

Eisenhower Presidential Library hosts CNN's Race for the White House Screening Opportunities In partnership with CNN, the Eisenhower Presidential Library will host two screening opportunities of the Race for the White House "Clinton v. Bush" episode on Wednesday, April 6. The first screening is set for 1 p.m. in the Visitors Center Auditorium of the Eisenhower Presidential Library. The second opportunity will be held that evening at Kansas Wesleyan University Fitzpatrick Auditorium in Salina at 6 p.m. Race for the White House is a thrilling six-part CNN Original Series narrated by Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey. Using rare archival footage, interviews, and stylized dramatizations, each hour-long episode tells the story of one iconic campaign for the Presidency of the United States. From powerful speeches to the dirty tricks and Machiavellian schemes, Race for the White House captures the drama of a high-stakes presidential election and its impact on politics today. The series is executive produced by Spacey and Dana Brunetti (House of Cards).  Episode Description:   With George Bush leading in the polls following the Gulf War of 1991, few Democrats wanted to run against the incumbent Republican President. Governor Bill Clinton saw his chance, but his initial popularity was severely dented after being accused of both adultery and avoiding the Vietnam draft. Bush was facing a challenge from conservative Republican Pat Buchanan and independent Ross Perot. Clinton's brand of fast-paced, aggressive responses to attacks, devised by James Carville and Paul Begala, allowed him to keep going after being knocked down. Bush, meanwhile, was split between the demands of the Oval Office and the need to get him on the campaign trail. Hopes that he might win came to a head at the famous Richmond Town Hall Debate where America saw Clinton's extraordinary ability to win over voters. Race for the White House is co-produced by Raw and Trigger Street Productions. The series regularly airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on CNN.
