Filming Obama in Butte

While the Obama family was picnicking, a film crew was taking it all in. The film will ultimately be shown at the democratic convention, which is shaping up to be a spectacular event. NYT: Davis Guggenheim, the Academy Award-winning director of “An Inconvenient Truth,” was on hand in Butte with a large crew to film Mr. Obama. The piece is intended to tell the story of Mr. Obama’s life, as well as how Democrats believe they can win in the West. The filming, which was not announced by the campaign, took place throughout the day on Friday at the Freedom Fest Independence Day celebration, followed by a picnic for about 1,000 people outside the World Mining Museum.
