- Synopsis
- In 1988, filmmaker Robert Altman and writer/cartoonist Garry Trudeau joined forces to create a documentary-styled TV series on the presidential election. Rather than cover the politics from afar, they cast Michael Murphy to play a presidential hopeful, Jack Tanner, and shot his journey right along side such "real" politicos as Bob Dole, Bruce Babbitt and Pat Robertson. The series was critically applauded and won Altman an Emmy Award for Best Director.
Flash forward to 2004. Altman and Trudeau join forces again to bring Tanner back, along with his daughter Alex (Cynthia Nixon), who has grown up to become a documentary filmmaker. What has happened in those 16 years? How have Jack Tanner, his daughter, and the rest of their campaign team changed with the times? TANNER ON TANNER is a four-part series following the new adventures of Tanner, as his daughter tries to make an important film, her dad tries to stay out of politics, and they all end up on the floor of the 2004 Democratic National Convention.- Awards
