Former UN Ambassador Reflects On ‘The Final Year’ Of Obama Administration
Ambassador Samantha Power and President Barack Obama in “The Final Year,” a Magnolia Pictures release.
Just days after the controversy over President Trump’s reported vulgar description of African nations, a new film, which gives us an inside look at the foreign policy decisions of his predecessor opens Friday at the Landmark Theater Midtown in Atlanta.
“The Final Year” is a documentary about President Barack Obama’s last year in office.
Filmmakers had access to the president and his foreign policy team as they tried to solidify their policies in advance of a new administration.
One of the key members of that team was then-U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power, who’s a former Atlantan. She’s now a professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
Power joined “Morning Edition” host Denis O’Hayer for a conversation about the film, her work with the Obama administration and Trump’s approach to foreign policy.
