Documentary about the extreme Right's attempts to smear and destroy the presidency of Bill Clinton. Covers events from Whitewater gate to the impeachment proceedings. Partisan slam against Starr and company co-written and directed by Thomason, a close friend of the Clintons. In the year of partisan political docs, acceptance will de pend on party affiliation and ideology. Techniques used are overly arch and comic at times. 88m/C VHS, DVD. D: Nickolas Perry, Harry Z. Thomason; W: Nickolas Perry, Har ry Z. Thomason; C: Jim Roberson; M: Bruce Miller.
