In 1988, renegade filmmaker Robert Altman teamed with Pulitzer‑Prize‑winning Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau to invent a fictional presidential hopeful, follow his campaign through the primary season, and dramatize the media circus as a hybrid of soap opera and TV news. The result, Tanner ’88, stands as a groundbreaking satirical look at media‑driven American politics.
