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, All Movie Guide
