Courting Condi
Courting Condi is a 2008 film by British filmmaker Sebastian Doggart that portrays the quest of a lovestruck man, actor Devin Ratray, who wants to win the heart of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Ratray also learns from various people he meets along the way about Rices controversial statements to the 911 Commission. Through interactions with and clips featuring Colin Powells Chief of Staff Lawrence Wilkerson, 911 Commission investigator Richard BenVeniste, and Congressman David Price, Ratray gets a fuller picture of how Rices political positions and political philosophy developed and changed over the years. Finally, Glenn Kessler, a Washington Post reporter and author of a book about Rice and the Bush Administration, discusses Rices involvement with the governments use of torture during the War on Terror.The film is the first ever musical docutragicomedy in the history of cinema. In an original journalistic device, it uses an actor, Ratray, to interview friends, relatives and colleagues of Dr. Rice. It innovatively combines interviews, archive footage, animated stills, dramatizations and original songs. Critics described this hybrid genre as a heady melange of styles and aims and a strange mashup by many measures. ........
