The Last Debate (2000)
Een presidentieel debat, onbevestigde geruchten en vier verslaggevers die het politieke proces in eigen hand nemen. Nu de verkiezingen nog maar een week verwijderd zijn, nemen de twee kandidaten het tegen elkaar op in een slotdebat. Het televisie-evenement neemt een dramatische wending wanneer de moderator en drie panelleden een van de kandidaten confronteren met onbevestigde geruchten en beschuldigingen. Het debat verandert al snel in een heksenjacht en vernietigt de carrière van één politicus. Ze vertellen ook Tom Chapman, de opkomende verslaggever die onderzoek doet naar de hinderlaag van het panel, het verhaal van zijn leven: wat er zich achter het laatste debat afspeelde.
