LOS ANGELES (AFP) -
US actor Ed Norton and his Class 5 Films are producing a documentary about Democrat Barack Obama's historic bid for the White House, according to reports Wednesday in Hollywood.
The as-yet-unnamed documentary's co-directors Amy Rice and Alicia Sam have had their cameras rolling since an Obama trip to Africa in 2006, according to the report. He launched his presidential campaign shortly thereafter.
It was Obama's inspiring speech to the Democratic National Convention in 2004 that motivated Norton to do the film
Class 5 was reportedly working with Ari Emanuel, a partner in the Hollywood production company Endeavor, to conclude a distribution deal for the film.
Emanuel, who worked on sales of Sacha Baron Cohen's film "Borat" and the Michael Moore documentaries "Sicko" and "Fahrenheit 9/11," is the brother of Illinois Democratic Representative Rahm Emanuel and an outspoken supporter of Obama.
