Hillary Clinton shares thoughts on impeachment and a note to Bernie fans at Sundance premiere of Hillary
, had its world premiere at the Park City fest Saturday afternoon, and the former First Lady/Senator/Secretary of State joined the audience after the four-hour screening for a Q&A.
Director Nanette Burstein was first approached by Hulu and executive producer Howard T. Owens about a possible project using hours and hours of footage they had from the 2016 campaign. “I felt strongly that I did not want to make a campaign film,” the filmmaker said in the Q&A. She met with the team, though, to pitch her own take. “I was still overcome with all the emotions of ’16 and it felt too soon to relitigate that,” she explained.
“I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into,” said Clinton, who spent seven days — about 35 hours total — being interviewed by Burstein. No question was off-limits. “It was exhausting, and it was overwhelming from time to time,” she admitted.
Clinton, as the series reiterates many times, has harsh critics and devoted admirers in equal measure; Sundance’s Ray Theater was quite clearly filled with the latter on Saturday. The crowd got louder the longer it sat, cheering for “women’s rights are human rights,” her victory in the 2016 Democratic primary, and upon seeing Barack Obama, in his only talking head appearance, explain why he chose her to be his Secretary of State.
“I’m obviously realistic enough to understand that the House Republicans and Senate Republicans don’t want to hear this, don’t want to have to think hard about it, don’t want to have to make a decision, and are going to probably default to basically deriding the case,” she continued. “I hope that this will haunt them, haunt them for not only political but historic reasons.” She includes her own former colleagues in that.
