Time to take a magical journey back to 2016!
This should be fun.
Cool. Nanette Burstein also directed The Kid Stays in the Picture, On the Ropes, and the good episode about Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding for 30 for 30. I did not see the one she did about McAfee.
Even putting my personal dislike for Hillary aside I don't really get why people would want to go out of their way to relive this nightmare. Sounds like it'd be awful.
I don't care about her failings or bad decisions/policies, fuck everyone that didn't vote for her last election or perpetuated memes about her.

I would honestly love if she just went away from the spotlight as she is terrible but alas, people still want to relieve the 2016 mess as shown by the fact this documentary is promising stuff about 2016.
Hopefully when someone wins over Trump that we stop hearing about her.

Mitt already had a documentary made on his failed 2012 run though. I remember it being quite good too.
His came out years ago. These are a standard campaign feature now for some reason.
Yup. There's also the very interesting one on Anthony Weiner that documented his collapse:
More documentaries about current poltiical figures that were pretty good:
Knock Down the House:
Street Fight:
Of course there's Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Elliot Spitzer, which was before he tried to run again:

Listened to the Stern interview just today. Try listening to that and imagining Trump coming close to that level of thoughtfulness.
A whip-smart person that can talk about her personal history as well as the country's in a cogent, incisive way and with a wry sense of humor to boot. Has been caricatured to hell, with bucket after bucket of shit dumped on her. Deserves our respect.

I don't understand why she's everywhere now. Like at least while she was campaigning she was trying to make herself not look like a complete shitpile, but here she is right now and has been keeping no pretentions against her awfulness.
Respect is earned.
Being more verbally competent than Trump is a pretty low bar.
Exactly. She's going to blame sexism, Russia, but ignore that her policies didn't excite people and she never campaigned in the rustbelt. Had she campaigned in the rustbelt (and you know, ran a good campaign) then she would've won.
I'd watch one about her failed presidential campaign, but this looks like it's going to be a puff piece.
So fun documentary fact, Errol Morris, who made the very good Fog of War and the very underwhelming The Unknown Known wanted to make advertisements for the Hilary Clinton campaign. (I have not seen American Darma and can't recommend it).
Fog of War, about McNamara: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317910/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
The Unknown Known, about Rumsfeld: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2390962/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_9
That sort of exhausts my brief contemporary documentary suggestions (yeah, I know McNamara isn't contemporary anymore, but I recommend Fog of War and am using it as a springboard to mentioned Errol Morris). Hope someone who doesn't want to watch this documentary will find one they want to watch based on my suggestions.

i'm really hoping this is just her showing up a little late to the dance to cash in on the Resistance crowd a la those Bush 'miss me yet?' memes, but there's also another fairly easy (if somewhat conspiratorial) conclusion to jump to. maybe she just really likes having the public endlessly relitigate her failed presidential campaign?
Imagine thinking the most progressive policy platform in Democratic history wasn't exciting, no wonder Biden is so popular right now, voters must be moderates!
She has earned it. And it's not just Trump she outclasses. The person she outclasses most obviously is the Hillary Clinton the GOP and the media created.
Give it a listen if you have the time. I pretty much guarantee you'll like her better afterwards.
This the same interview where she laughs about the idea of free healthcare or is it a different one where she doesn't find poor people dying of preventable diseases hilarious?
you see the Alex Gibney Theranos doc? i feel like that might offer some insight into what an Errol Morris shot Hillary ad campaign might look like
The interview where she defended a war criminal, severely downplayed the importance of healthcare access, and repeatedly deadnamed and misgendered a trans woman? That's what we're supposed to listen to her in order to like and respect her more?
Feel this would have been more effective as its own porn parody
Seriously. Why didn't she ever ask where the money to go to war with Iraq was going to come from before voting for that?
