In March 2002, filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi released a documentary, which "followed Bush on the campaign trail for one of the American networks". Pelosi claimed, that "the White House initially tried to rubbish her film and her methods - falsely claiming she had told the Bush team her footage was for private use only - but changed tack when they realised the attendant publicity would serve only to increase public curiosity."

Her documentary "Journeys with George" includes footage of a 18-month trip around the United States as part of the press corps following George W. Bush: "One summer afternoon we flew from Austin to New York City. Bush spoke at a radio talk-show convention and I took a cab to my apartment to get new clothes. Bush finished his speech early and the motorcade left midtown without me. I was stuck in traffic on the West Side Highway and Bush's plane was leaving JFK in 15 minutes. I pulled over, ran up the highway, jumped in a helicopter, and asked the pilot to fly to JFK. The airspace around Bush's plane was closed and the Secret Service was on the ground waving at us to fly away. The pilot told me he was being warned not to land."
