How Arnold won the West - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alex Cooke
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
From the Terminator to the Governator.
How Arnold won the West is a hilarious and insightful documentary that tells the story of the bizarre California Recall Election.
Documentary filmmaker Alex Cooke followed the campaign from the moment Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy through to his victory. 135 candidates took part in this extraordinary gubernatorial race, personally paid for (to the tune of $1.7 million) by Republican Congressman Darrel Issa, to eliminate Democrat Gray Davis.
With so many candidates - from delusional hopefuls to actors, porn stars, porn peddlers, self-promoters and performance artists, as well as seasoned politicians - the circus really did come to town.
