ARI SHAPIRO, Host:
Good morning, I am Ari Shapiro. File this one under small world. Hollywood is buzzing about a documentary on Barack Obama. A film crew has been following Obama around for two years. One of the talent agents involved in the project is Ari Emanuel. He's the brother of Rahm Emanuel, and Rahm will be White House chief of staff to Barack Obama. So far, the third Emanuel brother has not been involved with the project. Zeke Emanuel is a doctor at the NIH Clinical Center. It's Morning Edition. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
