The ten-year campaign to destroy Bill Clinton. There can be no doubt that we live in one of the most tumultuous political climates of the nation's history a climate where politicians can be toppled on a whim election results disputed in the country's highest courts and governors unceremoniously recalled. It's enough to leave even the most cynical voter asking how did this happen? Harry Thomason and Nickolas Perry's incendiary documentary based on the best-selling book by

Documentary based on the best-selling book by Gene Lyons and Joe Conason. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, the documentary follows Bill Clinton's time as Governor of Arkansas and his impeachment while President of the United States. It explores the effect and influence of the media and slander-machines on contemporary politics and includes interviews with such contrasting figures as James Carville and Jerry Falwell.
Adapted from the book of the same title, this documentary uses dramatic narration (via actor Morgan Freeman), ominous music, and humorous stock footage to develop tension, drama, and outrage in telling the story of the shady conservative republican conspiracy that tried for ten long years to discredit Bill and Hillary Clinton. Trumped up charges concerning Whitewater, along with scandals involving Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and Monica Lewinsky are just the beginning. The rabid hysteria-mongering of Ken Starr and his unquestionably partisan independent council wasted millions of tax dollars in an ultimately fruitless attempt to impeach President Clinton for their own personal and political reasons. Like similar examinations of America's ills, BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and SUPERSIZE ME, this trenchant documentary pulls no punches in its examination of greed, media manipulation, self-serving politics, and witch-hunting. Though writer-director team Harry Thomason and Nickolas Perry certainly exhibit their own liberal bias here, there is no denying the credibility of their talking heads, who include Susan McDougal (imprisoned for two years when she refused to lie about Clinton's involvement in Whitewater) and former right-wing conservative journalist David Brock. Last but not least, a group of Arkansas low lives appear, who the conservative media initially used to embroil Clinton in his early sex scandals.
