Politics of Love: Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Given Barack Obama's historic election as the first African-American President of the United States, it isn't surprising then, that in addition to the numerous books that have already been written about him, that a film wouldn't be too far behind.
Well, there is a film, but it isn't about him, per se; Politics of Love (2010), is a romantic comedy that was inspired "by the slew of publicly documented election love stories" that were said to have developed during Obama's push for the presidency. The film stars actor Brian J. White and Bollywood star Mallika Sherawat as a pair of election volunteers from opposite sides, who, despite those differences, become romantically involved amid the campaign.
There are some questions surrounding the film, though; according to imdb.com, in addition to its name change (the original title was Love, Barack) it hasn't even been officially released yet.
Since there isn't a whole lot of information about the film, only time will tell if it will ever be released--in any format. In the meantime, you can see a trailer here:

A little premature, don't you think?
The film is in post-production, at the final edit stage.
Will be posting release plans and updates on our facebook page: Link text
Would have gladly answered any inquiry had you gotten in touch.
Thanks,
one of the producers
