Just saw "The Hunting of the President" Documentary
Please go see this movie and support the filmmakers. It was informative and well done. I have a newfound respect for Joe Conason.

5. After the movie tonight, the filmmakers and Joe spoke to the
audience.
And you could see the sincerity they all had in telling the truth. There was one moment in the movie that was extremely moving when Hillary clinton was talking about health care for all children. I can't understand why she was so hated.

3. I never read the book
but I read "Big Lies"
There wasn't much new that DU'ers wouldn't already know. But it was great to see it in such well done format. I thought it was very creative. I was really impressed by Susan McDougal and her courage to tell the truth. At the end of the movie, when her name came up in the credits the audienced cheered.

18. It will probably only get to 5 or 10 major markets
If you don't live in one of those cities it's doubtful you'll ever get to see it at a theater. Surely it will come out on video or end up on HBO, Showtime or Cinemax.

6. I definitely would but have seen no evidence of wide distribution....
Only their opening and some upcoming film festivals... Has anyone heard if they have a wider distribution planned?

8. I guess it is going to depend on the support they get in the areas
it is already playing like NY, DC and Little Rock. The filmmaker said it would be out on DVD in the fall.

15. cause media isnt doing their job and they arent allowing
democrats on to speak out, and the liberal has been basically told to shut up for the last three years or we are unpatriotic...........so people are expressing the only avenue available right now, movies and i say yea.........couldnt come sooner

14. I will definitely go and see it. Probably the same weekend as F/911.
I will always support anyone or thing that deals with Clinton.
