Hillary Clinton is overwhelming favourite to be America’s next President – and this time nobody, especially not no pesky filmmaker, will get in her way.
Charles Ferguson, who was working on a major new documentary about Hillary, has just announced that he’s cancelled the project. The reason? Apparently, the American political class didn’t approve.
The film was absolutely not a right-wing hit job. It was being made for CNN, for starters. And Ferguson is a bona-fide progressive who has made edgily bien-pensant movies about the Iraq War and the financial crash. Indeed, the Republican National Convention assumed his work would be so fellatory towards Mrs C that it threatened to boycott CNN until the project was shelved.
But that’s not why the film was stopped. Of course not. The project appears to have got into real trouble because the left-liberal Clinton Machine didn’t want it aired.
