It would be easy to dismiss an hour-long film adaptation of Peter Schweizer’s book about the charitable-political-nonprofit complex of Bill and Hillary Clinton as nothing more than conservative propaganda. But sitting in a Manhattan screening room late Wednesday, it quickly became clear that conservatives weren’t the intended audience for Clinton Cash.
Environmentalists. Anti-nuke activists. Gay-rights advocates. Good-government folks. They’re all going to find themselves increasingly uncomfortable over claims that the likely Democratic nominee, in the film’s words, takes cash from the “darkest, worst corners of the world.”(snip)
"When it comes to the Clintons, you have to follow the money,” Schweizer says in a rough-cut previewed for TIME.(snip)
There are plenty of digs at the Clintons, who Hillary Clinton famously said were “dead broke” and laden with legal bills when they left the White House in 2001. The film says, in not-subtle terms, that the Clintons padded their personal finances with cash from foreigners. And, for good measure, there are jabs at the Clintons’ perceived arrogance, including shots that Hillary Clinton delayed relief supplies after the Haitian earthquake because the plane occupied the tarmac before she “was whisked away.”
The film’s team plans to, in Bannon’s words, “carpet-bomb this all over.” That means a screening on Monday to distributors on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival in France. But they’re also looking at distribution outlets through Netflix, YouTube, Amazon and others, just to get it out there. “We want this to go out to as many people as possible,” Bannon said. And unlike the 2008 anti-Clinton movie, streaming video is now quite common, meaning the film has a much wider potential audience.

Er, conservatives don't need 'propaganda' to determine that the Clintons are corrupt. They have facts, evidence, experience and the bleedin' obvious.
The Clinton sleaze machine has to be exposed. Hopefully, this will be a wide audience, and not just among those already convinced of the evil of the Clintons.
Which side was it that came up with the saying "You need to break a few eggs to make an omelet"? Hint: It wasn't ours.
Looks like they are putting it in markets then relying on people to further distribute the film How many times will it go around the world ?
I’ve been listening to Bannon on Breitbart radio during the AM’s this week. You have no idea how bad this is. Way beyond imaginable.
I want to see this. Hope it comes to a theater near me.
For quite a few liberals, the number one issue is Citizens United. No other issue can be faced BECAUSE MONEY CORRUPTS.
Now Hillary is arguing that money does not corrupt.
If you run into someone trying to defend Hillary, ask their opinion on Citizens United.
What I’d like to know is who came up with the idea and set up the Clinton foundations. They’re not smart enough to do it on their own.
They have also received at least $130 million from the Saudi’s and other arab countries.
It will be ironic if she’s brought down by a video. Echoes of her Benghazi lies.
You don’t remember the British jounist who was found dead in motel room the morning after he called in telling his home office he had the CLINTON offshore bank accout numbers and a list of where the money was coming from. Nothing ever found! (Except the dead body)

If the media is turning on the Clintons they are screwed.
Every once in a while Satan reaches over, grabs one of his children and eats him/her. Maybe we are seeing that.
This is an election season of ironies.
Remember when the accusation from the Cruzers was that Trump was in the race to help elect Hillary!?
Oh I can imagine. Two elderly, ugly people with no talent beyond electioneering manage to amass hundreds of millions of dollars for ‘speeches’ under the thinnest tissue of charity for PR purposes.
Anybody we know?
Recently, there was a posting of Hillary!s speeches from 2014 (I think it was 2014). I copied the amounts for just two days in March of that year, and to whom they were given. The amount for 4 speeches in two of the days in March was nearly a million dollars. I really was shocked that companies would pay that much to hear her. And two of the companies were Canadian. I don’t think any company would pay $225,000-250,000 per speech, without expecting something in return.
