We follow the vital players of Barack Obama's administration as they worked for better diplomatic relations and the pursuit of noble aims for the former president's final year.

After spending my early career years working for a non-profit and the government... I decided to go on a political cleanse/break. We all know how draining anything political can be, so as I go into this documentary... I wasn't really expecting anything remarkable.

"The Final Year" showed us an intimate glimpse of an administration making the most out of its remaining days pushing forward diplomacy, as opposed to war or violence of any kind. A surprisingly whirlwind ride of emotions, from the protocol, philosophy, and bittersweet end. It somehow gave a sense of humanity of the responsibility and power that is under the umbrella of the American presidency.

Obama, as I have always known him somewhat used his power at most to do good. And that was what this film showed us. The fact that his philosophy gives importance to stories and most importantly what's best for his people. Though he was not alone on it, it somewhat felt good that someone like him along with his words exists.

• An intimate and literally on-the-ground political reality. 
• It's not just about politics. 
• A revelation of new truths and perspectives of the former administration. 

• We all know how it ends, and that makes it sadder. 

With the current political climate, The Final Year felt so long ago. The good ol' days as we call it. Though I avoid taking sides on anything political, one should agree that somehow The Final Year not only showed how the White House works but also gave us a glimpse of an administration that worked with dignity and grace.
