Member Rating:  
From the best-selling book by journalists Gene Lyons and Joe Conason comes The Hunting of the President, a documentary by filmmakers Harry Thomason and Nickolas Perry. Going back to Bill Clinton's time as Governor of Arkansas and tracing through his impeachment while President of the United States, the Morgan Freeman-narrated film attempts to shed light on the alleged organized campaign to topple the charismatic statesman. Along the way, Thomason and Perry attempt to explore on a more general level the effect and influence of the media and slander-machines on contemporary politics. Interviews with such contrasting figures as James Carville and Jerry Falwell are included alongside never-before-seen Clinton-era footage. The Hunting of the President premiered at a special screening during the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

There's some interesting stuff in here. I don't think the film was done particularly well, but it's hardly boring. Wouldn't have minded hearing from Christopher Hitchens, as he declared on Chris Matthews he would have been willing to speak. They did seem to have a problem getting opposing viewpoints for the sake of balance. Nonetheless, the time, money and energy devoted to attacking Clinton due to what amounted to personal dislike, jealousy and vindictiveness is staggering. I'm glad it has been documented in some way. This information needed to be available to the public.

I was very open minded on this. However after watching the movie it was so slanted that it couldnt be totally true. It just really went way out there. I dont think Clinton should have been impeached but to claim him a saint is not right. I wouldnt say this is a movie to watch at all for anyone unless you are a partisan on all ways

I thought this was a well-constructed look at the OIC and the circumstances surrounding Whitewater. I'll say that if you aren't a Clinton fan, you won't like this.
