...its a shame this movie isn't getting more attention, with Fahrenheit 9/11 grabbing all of the documentary attention right now. Its a really interesting film that explains what Whitewater was actuallya bout and shows how there was a total lack of objectivity on Starr's part and really much of the media when going about these investigations. And unlike Fahrenheit 9/11 (a good movie, don't get me wrong), this one doesn't try to make you angry but still manages to accomplish it. If you're lucky enough to have a screening of this in your area, go see it.

The one fact the movie pounds home, (and Clinton elaborates on it in the special feature after the film,) is that the Clintons were exonerated of any wrongdoing in the Whitewater investigation.

As Clinton, puts perfectly, his other misdeeds and indiscretions are not excused, but remember that he appointed the special prosecutor precisely because he knew he was innocent of anything in the Whitewater issue.

The movie is a bit rushed and hard to follow.
