A DOCUMENTARY BASED ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER

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 Gene Lyons and Joe Conason, offers a glimpse at the genesis of these partisan vendettas and explores the myths and truths behind the nearly 10-year campaign to systematically destroy the political legacy of the Clintons.

Using previously unreleased materials, interviews, and shocking revelations from both sides of the beltway, this probing work focuses on the smear campaign against Clinton from his gubernatorial days in Arkansas leading up to and including his impeachment trial. Kenneth Starr fans, beware.

Less of an advocacy film and more of an alarming treatise on the political power of the media and personal interests, The Hunting of the President offers us a gallery of defeated politicians, disappointed office seekers, right-wing pamphleteers, wealthy eccentrics, zany private detectives, religious fanatics, and die-hard segregationists, all chiming in discord from the tops of their soapboxes.

How odd - no mention of a president disbarred for lying under oath, who later paid a six figure settlement for sexual harrassment, or fourteen crooked politicians and bureaucrats associated with the same president who were convicted by a jury of their peers. I wonder what happened to those characters in this important film?

election results disputed in the country's highest courts

The results were not disputed... the changes in election law after an election was disputed. The results have shown, time and again, that Bush won the election. These people are so delusional.
