Tanner '88(1988)

Tanner '88 is a groundbreaking political satire created by filmmaker Robert Altman and cartoonist Garry Trudeau. The series follows a fictional presidential candidate through the 1988 primary season, blending his media campaign with real candidates and actual news coverage. Shot as a hybrid of soap opera and television journalism, Tanner '88 dissects how media shapes politics and public perception. The show's innovative approach—mixing scripted drama with documentary-style reporting—offers a sharp critique of American electoral politics during the media age. Trudeau's satirical eye and Altman's experimental direction combine to create a prescient examination of spin, image-making, and the performance of politics that remains relevant decades later.
