There could be a number of Republicans out there these days looking for a way to rebuild their party after the presidential election this November. To save time, they might want to interview political expert Al From after seeing the documentary Crashing the Party, at the upcoming Chesapeake Film Festival.
It was this policy and politics guru who teamed up with the likes of Al Gore, Sam Nunn, Chuck Robb, and Dick Gephardt, to create an entirely new Democratic Party after the party’s stunning losses to Ronald Reagan and George Bush, through the founding of the legendary Democratic Leadership Conference (DLC). And it was the DLC that gave rise to a then unknown southern governor named Bill Clinton.
The Spy had a few minutes to sit down with Al at this Chesapeake waterfront home to talk about the DLC, and the documentary based on his book Crashing the Party, which recalls a special turning point for the Democratic Party and our country.
This video is approximately two minutes in length. Crashing the Party with be screened at the Easton Cinemas on October 29 at 12:00 PM and followed by a question and answer session with Al From.
