. >> any time you've got a movie coming out two nights before the election and being made by harvey weinstein democrat and a huge supporter of president obama's, of course, it raises eyebrows. >> reporter: direct jock stockwell said it was weinstein who suggested adding more actual news footage, including footage from the white house, after he saw an early version of the movie. >> it was not done to, i guess, play up the president's role or make him look particularly good? >> no, not at all. we don't pretend to sort of get inside the president's head. harvey weinstein came into the editing room very early on, and his only questions to me were how did you know this, are you sure this happened? he was really attempting to get to the veracity of the story. >> reporter: stockwell also says there's less footage of the president in the finished cut than there was in an earlier version. kargted by cnn harvey weinstein rejected the idea that the film has a political agenda, saying it's about history. ken robinson has been in both worlds. a former special forces officer, he was creator and writer of a
