Review: A new doc by her daughter reveals private side of iron-willed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

The clickety-clack of high heels through various corridors of power is a constant in "Pelosi in the House," documentarian Alexandra Pelosi's film about her mother, Speaker of the U.S. House Nancy Pelosi.

"For my entire adult life I've been two steps behind you with this camera, trying to keep up with you," Alexandra says off-camera as she races through the U.S. Capitol building with the fast-moving congresswoman. "Mom, do you realize that? You walk at a pace. It's hard to keep up with you."

"I'm a workhorse, not a show horse," replies the elder Pelosi, a statement that's validated many times over in this refreshingly personal account of a life spent in politics.
