VICE Media: Watch & Learn | VICE Special Report: A House Divided

VICE Special Report: A House Divided, written and directed by VICE’s Shane Smith for HBO, chronicles some of the most divisive issues of President Obama’s presidency over the past eight years through the eyes of both parties, including the 2009 stimulus package, the Affordable Care Act, and a government shutdown. It looks at how these issues, and the battles around them, contributed to a political climate that gave rise to the candidacy and ultimate election of a non-politician and outsider, Donald Trump.

This special report features an exclusive interview with President Obama, as well as archival news footage and interviews with key decision makers and advisors, including Vice President Joe Biden, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, former House Speaker John Boehner, former Rep. Eric Cantor, and more.
