The Campaign
For the full 35 days of the 1996 Federal Election campaign, Santo Cilauro followed the Prime Minister around Australia, with revealing insight.
In this highly acclaimed documentary, for the first time, the anatomy of a federal election campaign was laid bare; the logistics, the traveling, the locations, the schedule. For the full 35 days of the 1996 campaign, Santo Cilauro and his Hi8 camera had unprecedented access to follow Paul Keating, his entourage and the media circus across Australia.
The result - a fascinating analysis of both the Australian political machinery and the electronic media in action while campaigning for the nation’s highest office.
