About the Show
"The Corridors of Power" is a riveting exploration of how American leaders have made foreign policy decisions when faced with reports of genocide, war crimes and mass atrocities after the fall of the Soviet Union, when America stood as the only global superpower.
Rare archival footage and in-depth interviews with political leaders offer insight into the workings of the White House to understand not only what happened, but why it happened.
Major figures from multiple presidential administrations, including Madeline Albright, Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell, Hillary Clinton, James Baker, Paul Wolfowitz, Antony Blinken and many others, provide candid testimony about the anguishing choices they faced as to whether or not the United States should intervene.
