For more than 1700 hours, and spanning several years, documentary director Nanette Burstein's cameras captured an intimate portrait of Hillary Clinton, the former US first lady, later secretary of state and finally, in 2016, unsuccessful presidential candidate.Former US first lady, secretary of state and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
"There was nothing off limits and it really started out as maybe a campaign documentary because we had about 1700 hours of behind-the-scenes footage, some of which is in the movie," Clinton says. "But Nanette came back and said, look, this is a bigger story. It needs to be told. It's part of the arc of women's history, advancement, [and the] choices that are made.
The backlash – "that the First Lady would be involved in trying to make sure everybody had quality, affordable healthcare," Clinton says – was immediate. "There's a scene in the movie, which I had forgotten until Nanette dug it up, of me being burned in effigy for wanting healthcare," she adds. "Why, in any way, participate or contribute to that absolute craziness? [The answer is] it doesn't have to be that way," she adds. "It wasn't so long ago that we had a president where we didn't have to worry every morning when we woke up about what was going to happen that day. Or what crazy tweet would threaten war or some other awful outcome. There is no substitute for voting.
