Fired up! Ready to go!

It's been a year since the election of President Obama, so it's as good a time as any for HBO to debut its documentary "By the People: The Election of Barack Obama."

While HBO subscribers can watch the film from their couches Tuesday night, a private screening is planned here in Washington that will bring Ed Norton into town and administration figures to the theater. Norton served as a producer on the documentary and helped filmmakers Amy Rice and Alicia Sams get access to then-Sen. Obama.

Filming started a year before Obama announced his intention to be president.
