synopsis
FilmSENATOR is a portrait of a man who became a synonym for anti-communism and a symbol of the Cold War. This docudrama mixes rare archival footage with a dramatization of his life. The script, which is the result of years of research, tries to paint as complete a picture of McCarthy as possible: His rise to power, his critical demagogic period, and his fall, halted only by his premature death.more about film
