When Clinton's decided heterosexuality was placed under fire during the Starr Investigation and ensuing impeachment hearings, gay people strongly identified with the President's discomfort and outrage. Today, public ambitions inspire (or even require) lying, covering up, and shading personal truths for survival. Barney Frank - the first openly gay politician on Capitol Hill understands a thing or two about survival on Capitol Hill. After overcoming his own sex scandal in the early 90's, Frank emerged as one of Clinton's most eloquent and sympathetic defenders during the impeachment hearings. "Let's Get Frank" is an intelligent and humorous look not only at life upon Capitol Hill, but also the dynamics of political scandal.

1999 film by John Scagliotti

自1983年开始播映的PBS新闻最前线节目。

2008年经济危机之后，时任财政部长保尔森、纽约联邦储备银行主席蒂莫西·盖特纳和美联储主席本·伯南克试图将这个国家从许多人认为的可能比大萧条还要严重的经济萧条中解救出来。这部长篇纪录片探讨了导致危机的各种因素，以及这三位关键人物如何把分歧严重的国会团结起来，商讨7千亿美元问题资产救助计划（TARP）。最终，经济反弹，经济萧条得以避免。但也有巨大的经济和政治成本：美国总统奥巴马继承了挥之不去的萧条阴影，经济衰退随之而来，被银行救助和银行家的奖金所激怒的纳税人们催生了占领华尔街运动和茶党运动。十年过去了，在这个国家比以往任何时候都更加分裂的情况下，这篇特别报道问道：如果今天经济危机再次发生，国会会不会联合起来寻找解决方案?
