Bannon, the two conservative filmmakers, will debut a new anti-Obama documentary in Tampa, called "The Hope and the Change," with a preview planned on Fox News on Friday. Bannon is perhaps best known for the Sarah Palin doc "The Undefeated," released in theaters last year, and Bossie's "Hillary, the Movie," and his attempts to show it on pay TV during the 2008 primaries, is eventually led to the Supreme Court's landmark Citizen's United decision.
