Synopsis
THE CIRCUS is the first-ever real-time documentary series about a presidential campaign. Every week, the show pulls back the curtain and takes viewers deep inside the fiercest competition on earth -- where the ultimate prize is the most powerful office in the world. Brimming with emotion, intensity, intimacy and irreverence, THE CIRCUS reveals the drama, comedy and pathos behind the headlines, laying bare the candidates and the people around them for what they are: fueled at once by ambition and idealism, endlessly fascinating and inevitably flawed... and deeply, recognizably human.
