'Hillary': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and all you need to know about Hulu's documentary on Hillary Clinton
Hulu is set to release an original titled 'Hillary' this March around the life and work of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Creator Nanette Burstein and team utilize more than 2,000 hours of her 2016 US presidential election campaign footage to form the series’ base. The documentary will follow Hillary's life and ascent into the world of politics.
The politician even spoke about the docuseries at a Television Critics Association event earlier: "There were a lot of humbling moments," she said at the event. "One was the recognition that I have been often, in my view, mischaracterized, misperceived, and that I have to bear a lot of the responsibility for that. But I also know that I was this lightning rod," she added, "And I was somebody who people were quick to judge, often having nothing to do with me, but with the times and with the attitudes about women."
Release date
'Hillary' will premiere on March 6, 2020.
Plot
The official synopsis from Hulu reads, "A remarkably intimate portrait of a public woman, Hillary interweaves revealing moments from never-before-seen 2016 campaign footage with biographical chapters of her life. Featuring exclusive interviews with Hillary Rodham Clinton herself, Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, friends and journalists, the series examines how she became at once one of the most admired and vilified women in the world."
