Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The Hunting of the President, a documentary examining the Republican campaign to discredit Bill Clinton's presidency, unfolds like a paranoid thriller--made all the more astonishing by scrupulous documentation and an impressive breadth of interviews with journalists, lawyers, political analysts, judges, newspaper editors, and many of the people caught up in the Whitewater scandal--which, after an expense of many millions of dollars and several years of investigation, failed to find any criminal act. The relentless efforts of Clinton's enemies grow into an appalling abuse of power, ultimately resulting in his impeachment (but not his removal from office). This documentary, like those of Michael Moore (Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11), uses brief clips from Hollywood movies and television to give a boost to the narrative; this could seem cloying, but The Hunting of the President presents such an impressive barrage of facts and perspectives that it earns some moments of flippancy. --Bret Fetzer
Description
The Hunting of the President is the story of a sustained and well-funded effort to discredit and defeat Bill Clinton, dating from his gubernatorial days in Arkansas and eventually leading to his impeachment trial. The film also acknowledges that Clinton?s reckless behavior, along with the ?panicky, defensive, and occasionally less-than-perfectly honest? responses from the White House press office, didn?t hurt his opponents. Investigative journalism at its juiciest, The Hunting of the President is a surprising valediction to a far-from-angelic public leader who often outmaneuvered his enemies with otherworldly skill.

more polical truth.......2007-01-19

find out what really happened during the Clinton Administration. Get a good inside look at the propaganda machine of the right and how mean spirited and hypocritical they are.

Great Information.......2007-01-12

The Information in this documentary is excellent! This is a story that needed to be told. However, I feel that it ought to be Told again, only by a film-maker. I love Joe Conason, yet let's call Micheal Moore for the next one.

More on President Clinton.......2007-01-10

This is an interesting documentary on the Presidency of Clinton. Worth watching, but probably not something you will watch over and over.

"Hunting of the President" missed the mark.......2006-03-07

The material was powerful, Morgan Freeman's delivery was great. However, the cartoon/old movie clip material was frustratingly off-point and distracting. What could/should have been an analysis of the political dealings of the right wing of the Republican party and a wake-up call to America, became an erratic difficult-to-follow series of interviews. I was disappointed.

The Hunting of the President.......2006-02-24

This was a very good DVD. It answered a lot of questions for me. It was very well done. I would hightly recommend this DVD.

Hunting and Non-Hunting Perspectives.......2000-06-03

This documentary is a boy's story about his African Safari. It provides an excellent insight into hunting, particularly African hunting and how it relates to the preservation of game. Not only does it present some interesting historical ties and rarely seen footage to Teddy Roosevelt's famous 1909 safari, but it also accurately depicts important issues of past and present game management issues. I highly recommend this film for the hunter and non-hunter.

The most excellent video on Hunting ever produced........1999-02-09

Although the video captured today's East Africa, it is a combination of old and new. Using Roosevelt the Greater as the focal point, this video does more to explain the mystery and charm of hunting as anything I have ever seen. I love animals better than most people but Hunting is in the absolute core and makeup of mankind. To ignore this is a tragedy. Whether you comprehend my plea or think it foolish, see this video. I have my copies.
