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 announed his candidacy through to his victory. 135 candidates took part in this extraordinary gubernatorial race, personally paid for by Republican Congressman Darrel Issa, to eliminate Democratic 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.
