Daniella Diaz is hitting the trail…
HBO Max will premiere the CNN Films documentary On The Trail: Inside the 2020 Primaries, which captures the network’s team of female journalists and embeds, including the 28-year-old Latina video producer, as they covered the nomination contest.
The project will premiere on Thursday, August 6.
In addition to Diaz, those spotlighted include Dana Bash, Kaitlan Collins, Jessica Dean, Annie Grayer, Kyung Lah, MJ Lee, Abby Phillip, Arlette Saenz and Jasmine Wright.
HBO Max describes the project as a cinema verite feature in which viewers will see “the journalists pack up and leave their families to fan out across the country, to report on the president and his would-be rivals, as the candidates launch (and end) campaigns, and contend for voters.”
Sarah Aubrey, head of original content for HBO Max, said in a statement, “This is our first CNN Films documentary on the platform and a powerful representation of our commitment to create thought-provoking and deeply meaningful content together.”
The project is directed by Katie Hinman and Toby Oppenheimer.
Diaz previously covered the 2018 midterm elections.
Saenz is a CNN political correspondent based in Washington, D.C. She is covering Former Vice President Joe Biden and the 2020 presidential campaign.
