On the eve of Edward Norton’s By the People: The Election of Barack Obama’s HBO premiere, Showtime rolls out Barry Levinson’s Poliwood, a documentary examining the positive and negative effects that celebrities have on politics. The program revisits last year’s Democratic and Republican national conventions to explore the public’s take on movie stars’ political outspokenness. The 90-minute film includes conversations with Ellen Burstyn, Susan Sarandon, Sting, Elvis Costello, Annette Bening, Tim Daly (who also produced the documentary) and many others.
