The President Obama Effect is the story about the effect that the Obama campaign had on a group of community organizers and a few of the young people that they mentor in the City Of Pittsburgh in the "Battle Ground" state of Pennsylvania.

Take a ride with members of "One HOOD" as they organize to stop the violence that has engulfed Pittsburgh's black community while they work hard to ensure that those same communities have the opportunity to have their voices heard at the polls.

The Obama Effect is not just another Documentary about President Barack Obama, It is a collection of diverse media created during the period of a few months prior to President Obama's announcement that he was running for President, right up until his historic Inauguration. The collection includes films, photography, audio, campaign memorabilia, newspapers, magazines and original art, there's even a blue Obama Terrible Towel from the Pittsburgh Steelers and a Spider Man/Obama comic book throw in for good measure!

"The aesthetics of the Obama campaign was unlike anything that I had witnessed before, the imagery was a thing of beauty. Then add the drama of the constant twists and turns and the political maneuverings, it all came together like the ultimate reality show. I was positively effected by the whole experience" - Paradise Gray
