Filmmaker Steve Bannon invited me to an exclusive screening of his new Palin documentary"Undefeated" in New York this last night. It's a blockbuster, because she is a force of nature.
He has done this country a great service in this remarkable effort. Sarah Palin is one of the most media saturated of all public figures and yet so few know her story or more remarkably her exceptional record.
No governor at any time, not LaGuardia, Roosevelt or even Reagan, accomplished anywhere near what this champion achieved in her first 18 months in office.
We all fell in love with her for a reason and despite years of malevolent Palin-bashing, this film reminds us why. It is astounding. And while America may look to Alaska for it's energy, what America should look to Alaska for is her leadership.
The origin of the film is inauspicious. Bannon was approached by Palin's close aide, Rebecca Mansour, with a request to make a few you tube videos explaining a number of Palin's historical accomplishments while Governor of Alaska.
But so taken was Bannon with Palin's record and leadership, he made a feature-length movie, financing it himself while keeping complete editorial control. Palin was not even interviewed for the film (he used audio from her book "Going Rogue" for continuity.)
Bannon's background is interesting. He is a former naval officer and ex-Goldman Sachs banker now filmmaker who was enormously impressed with an American patriot with frontier values from the last great American frontier.
Palin's background is blue collar. Her father was a schoolteacher who never made more than $23,000 a year. Her mom was a homemaker. Her husband is working class and she belongs to no political dynasty or any insiders clique either in the beltway or Alaska. She is us. She is the quintessential maverick, an outsider, but despite this, she beat old boy powerhouse Republican Frank Murkowski in the primary before crushing the competition in the general election to become Alaska's youngest -- and first female -- chief executive on sheer goodness and will.
And even those of us who thought we knew what champion Palin was, knew little of her monumental achievements.
The film is divided into three parts. First, how she came from nothing to battle the corrupt powers fighting against her (and the best interest of Alaskans) and achieved unprecedented success in a very short period of time despite the odds. The second part of the film shows the true leadership, natural charisma and intelligence that makes Sarah Palin uniquely qualified to inherit the Reagan mantle. She is the only conservative leader who can lead a Reaganesque Revolution and bring the American people (the tea party movement) back into power and into the Oval office. Steve Bannon has been quoted as saying, "This film is a call to action for a campaign like 1976: Reagan vs. the establishment."
American needs this film.
I hope this is the opening salvo in the right's counter assault on the left's cultural choke-hold and manufactured narratives they audaciously call news. It is time, America, we go on the offense.

Fantastic! Sure sounds like a blockbuster! Truth will out! God bless and protect Sarah and her family. And it's obvious that Steve Bannon has a fire in his belly HERE .. and HERE .
Late night .. Ping! Sounds wonderful!

If this statement from another thread is true, I will not watch it.
There is no way I can sit through 15 minutes of that kind of sick, vile garbage spewing from deranged libs.
5 minutes would be difficult. 15 is WAY too much.
When does it start showing, how can we sell out every theatre, and HOW can we keep Hussein’s cultists from ruining the showings?
More reviews...

I simply cannot imagine America if Sarah is not elected President. Truly, the darkness of socialism will envelope us that survive.
God save America!
But hopefully the so called ‘independents’ will, and finally see the left as clearly as we do.
I agree - even the first 15 minutes.

I agree.It sounds to me like Bannon put that footage in to draw in the PDS sufferers . . .
People who agree with that stuff will be drawn in. Then once he has their attention, he hopes to penetrate their consciousness with, you know, actual facts and stuff . . .
By the end of the movie, he wants them to have "buyer's remorse" for having agreed with the garbage that the movie started out with.
When did search stop working ? That does not conjure up good thoughts. Is it going to be fixed soon?
(I’m going back to bed .. LOL)
Fantastic! Thank you Starwise!
