She brought along a handheld camcorder documenting her experience on the campaign trail; the footage was used to create Journeys with George, a documentary that earned her six Emmy nominations. During the 2004 Democratic primaries, she returned to the campaign trail, this time following the Democratic candidates. Her HBO documentary, Diary of a Political Tourist, aired just before the 2004 election. She also created the documentary about evangelical Christians called Friends of God.

"Talking to them, I realized something is going wrong," she said of the conversations.

On June 18 2005 she married Dutch journalist, lawyer, and United States correspondent Michiel Vos .
