Hillary Clinton is setting her sights on a new office: executive producer.
The former secretary of state is teaming with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television to bring Elaine Weiss' critically acclaimed book The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote to the small screen. The drama will mark Clinton's debut as an exec producer.
The book, published in March, follows the activists who led the decades-long fight to grant women the right to vote and sheds light on how close the battle to ratify the 19th Amendment really was. The book celebrates those who changed history and laid the foundation for the civil rights movement that came decades later.
[snip] Amblin TV, a division of Spielberg's Amblin Pictures, will shop The Woman's Hour to premium cable (think HBO, Showtime) or streaming platforms (a la Netflix, Apple, Amazon and Hulu). Clinton will exec produce alongside Amblin TV co-presidents Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey and author/journalist Weiss.
"At the heart of democracy lies the ballot box, and Elaine Weiss' unforgettable book tells the story of the female leaders who in the face of towering economic, racial and political opposition fought for and won American women's right to vote. Unfolding over six weeks in the summer of 1920, The Woman's Hour is both a page-turning drama and an inspiration for everyone, young and old, male and female, in these perilous times. So much could have gone wrong, but these American women would not take no for an answer: their triumph is our legacy to guard and emulate," Clinton said. "I am thrilled to be working with Elaine, Steven and everyone at Amblin Television on bringing this important project to audiences everywhere."

I suppose they think this is somehow relevant because Hillary lost. In general, women rejected her. Women had the vote, and they rejected her.
Susan B. Anthony was Pro-Life.
I do NOT expect her to be portrayed accurately.
Emmy winner? For sure. It would be impossible for her to lose. It doesnt matter what the competition is. She has it in the bag. No psychic powers needed.
Btw, what does executive producer mean? I expect it means that Spielberg will do the work and give her the credit.
“executive producer”?
The shrill old hag thinks she is an executive producer?
Washed up, crooked, angry, witch, hag, muu-muu-wearing America-hating m*slim-loving witch. Not executive producer.
She’d get to make creative and hiring decisions. I doubt she’ll be the showrunner though. Probably just contribute some ideas and weigh in on casting maybe.

...
A lucrative no-show job.
But there’s only one gender.
Isn’t that collusion to influence the publuc?
In Real Television (or Real Movies) the E.P. is strictly a “deal-maker,” with emphasis on funding and the hiring of (only a very few) top trades — writers, directors, etc.
The Line Producer hires everybody else. (Cam dept, lights, EFX, etc.)
E.P. have a lot of power, because they sign the checks, but creative and operational is all done by qualified trades.
Yep, this is a bookmark to lay down a marker that she will win an Emmy and perhaps other phony liberal awards. Could win the Nobel Peace prize as well. Only time will tell, but the primetime drama “Madame Secretary” was timed and designed to boost Hillary’s presidential bid and that didn’t work out too well, did it?
Shed get to make creative and hiring decisions. I doubt shell be the showrunner though. Probably just contribute some ideas and weigh in on casting maybe.
...
Why does she have to do anything other than cash the checks?
She probably wants to oversee the content to make sure it suits the agenda.
Yup
How about a documentary on the Clinton’s dead list?
I think she can trust Spielberg and the other commies to get the agenda right.
Female suffrage was the beginning of the end.
I’ll be watching the movie that shows the rolling back of the 19th amendment.
