Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, created the 2022 HBO documentary Pelosi in the House. The documentary footage that Alexandra submitted to HBO is now at the center of controversy. Reportedly, the House Administration Subcommittee obtained footage from the television network in which Pelosi stated, “I take responsibility” for the Capitol’s security failures on January 6, 2021.
Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, shot the documentary in cinéma vérité style, capturing the congresswoman’s life. Pelosi in the House comprises some sit-down interviews with the former House Speaker. It follows her through the halls of Congress as the first and only female speaker while she engages in household chores like laundry. Before that, Alexandra, an acclaimed Emmy-nominated documentarian, covered President George W. Bush’s campaign. She turned it into a film, Journeys with George, which premiered in 2002.
The recent controversy surrounding Nancy Pelosi arises from her daughter’s documentary footage. New York Post reported that Alexandra shot the footage on January 6, 2021, in which Pelosi told her chief of staff, Terri McCullough, “We have responsibility, Terri.” She added, “We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.”
Alexandra Pelosi’s other popular documentaries include The Insurrectionist Next Door, Fall to Grace, and more.
