Politics, History, Drama (USA — 2007)

(REGION 1) Congressman Charlie Wilson is a highball-swilling, fanny-pinching gadabout who becomes radicalized on the issue of helping the Afghans against their mighty aggressor, the Soviets. He has help in the form of a right-wing Texas anti-Communist with a genius for raising money, and a sardonic CIA operative who lacks all the social skills Wilson has in abundance.
