POV Season 10 Full Episode Guide

Episode 10 - A Perfect Candidate
First Aired: August. 05,1997

Disproving the adage that there are no second acts in American life, Iran/Contra legend Oliver North re-emerged to challenge incumbent Charles Robb in a hotly contested 1994 Virginia senatorial race. R.J. Cutler and David Van Taylor weave a modern-day parable about leadership in America and campaign culture in a cynical age. The result is a clear-eyed examination of the electoral process, where issues take a back seat to the machinations of spin doctors, and voter interests are lost in a media hall of mirrors.

Episode 8 - Girls Like Us
Episode 7 - In Whose Honor?
First Aired: July. 15,1997
