Now available online via the Dispatches website is this short film by Christopher Morris.

A world inside our world has been created by the Secret Service, the Republican Party and the Presdient as Georger Bush travels across the States speaking and rallying the faithful.  Let Morris take you inside the Bush bubble.

Once you are inside, past all the checks and security. Once they know who you are, just a photographer going about his business you become somewhat invisible, he told me. Thats when he was able to shoot people up-close and turn his view away from the straight in-line picture of the President.

Having spent 8 years covering The Bush Whitehouse, Morris shot this series of clips which he combined into a 14 minute film which he entitled "The Dear Leader".

The film can be seen on Dispatches Magazine, a quarterly publication and website which sets out to "examine a crucial topic in its full context, with seasoned writers whose experience is firsthand and with photographers who have shown an exceptional ability to capture human reality".
