The Hunting Of The President - movie release soon; screenings; reviews

[wyldwolf]

EAST COAST PREMIERE JUNE 11, 2004! Trailer available May 7.


"incendiary... an alarming treatise on the political power of the media and personal interests"

-- ELIZABETH RICHARDSON and JOSEPH BYER, SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL


"...an eye-opening and occasionally chilling look at the lengths to which some will go to destroy someone they perceive as a threat to their way of life... The message is clear, and powerfully told. Extra credit should be given for managing to get Susan McDougal to tell the story of her ordeal and imprisonment in her own terms."

--PETE VONDER HAAR, FILM THREAT


"This probing documentary... astutely allowing participants to tell their own tales... creates an emotional connection with people whose names are familiar from nightly news reports but whose intimate stories are not."

-- CATHY ROSS, AUSTIN CHRONICLE


"The Hunting of the President," a potent screen translation of Gene Lyons and Joe Conason's bestseller, methodically compiles evidence suggesting there was indeed (as Hillary famously put it) "a vast right-wing conspiracy" waged against the Clinton White House. No matter one's party affiliation, docu is worth seeing for its eye-opening look at how disreputable characters can impact government -- and how easily the mainstream media can be duped into covering scandal-smelling leads."

--DENNIS HARVEY, VARIEY.COM

1. Hooray!!!! The book will go down as the most important

document on the politics of the 1990's Clinton administration.

The second most important work will originate in the 1990's and will be a tell-all on PNAC, Rove, and Cheney and how they manipulated the man whose family and friends stole an election - yet to be written.

Lyons and Conason. From a rare breed of investigative journalists. Underappreciated by Dems. Reviled by the 1990 players from the right. Because they got it right.

2. sounds wonderful

Hope we can all see it soon. The information in the book was startling ... And when I read it, I was aware of the Right wing working constantly to destroy the best President of my time... And of course the last Elected president in our country...They couldn't wait to get another Idiot Bush into the Oval office to exchange our 8 years of Peace and Prosperity into corruption, cronyism and crime of war, death and total diaster... Every time a Bush gets near the White House we have a mandatory war with Iraq and divvy up the spoils with the American Oil Corporations.... and Halliburton... that is our money that is given to the cronys....Everytime there is a Bush in the White House the pResident Steals money to start a secret war... Personally I am tired of it and I would like the people responsible for the crimes against our country and our last president put at least behind bars because the same bunch will be out to destroy President Kerry so that Jeb Bush or maybe Neil Bush can be president so that they can again invade Iraq.... this crap has to stop....It is like a bloodthirsty version of Groundhog Day.....Sick !!!

3. Good news indeed.

That book should be required reading in HS civics class. People need to understand how the RW had conducted an 8 year war against Democrats, culminating in the 2000 coup.

5. Terrific Timing!

LOL!

First the movie on 6/11, then Big Dawg's memoirs at the end of June! A veritable avalanche of sympathetic coverage for our last elected President.

Neocons will be beside themselves with Clenis Envy! :D :bounce: :bounce:

6. Isn't It 9/11?

[VolcanoJen]

7. And, Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9-11" is premiering at Cannes in May

Not sure of the exact date of the premier of Moore's look at America post 9/11, including an examination of the Bush-Saudi Royal Family relationship, but sometime between May 12-23, word will leak out about this much-anticipated film.

It should show up in wide U.S. release in mid-summer; it's sure to make a splash.

8. I believe this Film will show a lot of....

"fence sitters" which party is truly the party of the people and which one is the party of the Rich, selfish and petty.
When I think of how Bill Clinton was treated by the Press and congress
my blood boils with a purple hot rage.

9. Great news! I hope Conason makes a bundle!

I hope a lot of people see it and get a clue about the VRWC - very active today.

10. The ugly thing about all of this is...

...that the 'vast right wing conspiracy' now has full control of our government. This is a timely film in that it show HOW WE GOT TO where we are today.
