Contrariamente a quanto accade in Europa il presidente degli Stati Uniti è una figura molto raccontata dal cinema, o attraverso le serie televisive. E i presidenti al cinema non si contano, sia quando raccontano figure inventate che invece realistiche. Li si è raccontati come eroi d’azione, come personaggi anche dalle vite difficili e tormentate, come uomini alle prese con debolezze ed errori, assetati di potere e al centro di scandali sessuali o decisioni controverse. Ci sono stati film a mettere in scena presidenti molto amati, come Lincoln o molto odiati, come Nixon, o altri diventati tra luci e ombre figure iconiche della storia degli Stati Uniti, come i Kennedy. Molte le pellicole hollywoodiane e non, che hanno evidenziato episodi ambigui e oscuri, e anche i meccanismi spesso spietati che si celano dietro lo studio ovale, oppure la ferocia e le lotte durissime delle campagne presidenziali. O altri che attraverso il mandato presidenziale hanno raccontato anche la storia degli Stati Uniti e i suoi temi bui e dolorosi, partendo dalla schiavitù e dal razzismo, temi al centro ancora oggi delle campagne presidenziali dei due sfidanti. Vi raccontiamo i presidenti degli Stati Uniti, visti attraverso alcune delle pellicole più significative viste sul grande e piccolo schermo, con Oliviero Bergamini, vicedirettore di Rai News 24 e già corrispondente dagli Stati Uniti per la Rai e Cristina Piccino, critica cinematografica del quotidiano Il Manifesto
