When he called himself "a skinny kid with a funny name" at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, his star was already rising. By the time he triumphed in the 2004 Illinois Senate race, he was the golden child of a Democratic party in desperate need of a charismatic leader. And in November of 2008, he was the first African-American to be elected President of the United States.

BIO narrates the definitive story of BARACK OBAMA, from his childhood in Honolulu to his history-making presidential win. Follow Obama through his teenage struggles for self-identity, his student days at Columbia University and Harvard Law School, and finally, through his political career in Chicago, where he rose to fame through a focus on ethics and political reform. Go behind the scenes of Obama s extraordinarily successful presidential campaign--in which he raised a record-breaking $58 million in six months--and join him in his exciting journey towards the White House.

Featuring insightful interviews with friends and family members, as well as previously unreleased footage of Obama s campaign and victory, BARACK OBAMA chronicles the uniquely American story of one man rising up to fight for what he believes in--and, the dawning of a new chapter in American history.
