Pelosi, House speaker Nancy Pelosi's daughter famous for making the HBO George W. Bush campaign documentary Journeys with George, began 2020 by embarking on a cross-country expedition to look at the present, polarized state of the union. “Pelosi’s journey begins taking the temperature of America in a massively consequential election year, yet as unthinkable perils engulf the land, she bravely captures the rising tensions among warring factions that eventually spill over and erupt into protests in the streets," according to the logline. Variety reports that it sees American Selfie, which premieres Oct. 23, as an Oscar contender.
