Oscar-winning filmmaker Charles Ferguson says he was threatened regarding his now-abandoned documentary on Clintons

Ferguson and CNN dropped their project of documenting the Clintons after they faced stringent opposition from all sides
PUBLISHED NOV 5, 2018

The Academy Award-winning Charles Ferguson admittedly has quite the curious background for someone who is now a revered documentary filmmaker in the industry. Originally educated as a political scientist, the 63-year-old has a BA in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Ph.D. in Political Science from MIT.

Ferguson also previously consulted for the White House, the Office of U.S Trade Representative, the Department of Defense, and several U.S and European technology firms, even founding and selling his own software company for $133 million. His impressive CV also boasts of him as the author of four books, as well as articles relating to aspects of information technology and its relationship to economic, political, and social issues.
