Broadcast 31 October 2004

Former BBC Washington Correspondent Stephen Sackur presents a major debate, filmed on location at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard, which explores the state of American politics, both at home and abroad.

Two panels of leading politicians, thinkers and opinion-formers voice strong convictions and clash over fundamental principles, in front of a voluble 500 strong American audience.

As the race for the White House promises another photo finish this debate gives viewers an unrivalled insight into how the opposing campaigns are shaping up and why.
