Hillary

Hillary reveals an intimate portrait of a public woman, exploring how Hillary Clinton has become one of the most admired and vilified women in the world. The series masterfully interweaves revealing moments from never-before-seen 2016 campaign footage with biographical chapters in her life. The series features rare and personal interviews with Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, friends, journalists, colleagues and Hillary Rodham Clinton herself.

Directed by Nannette Burstein and praised by The New York Times as being “revealing and insightful”, Hillary made headlines around the world when it premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. Nominated for a 2020 Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction series, Hillary gives an insightful and prevailing portrayal of Hillary Clinton’s life and legacy.

The Good Fight S4

The first episode kicks off in an alternate reality where Hillary Clinton has been elected president. The new season sees Reddick (Louis Gossett Jr.), Boseman (Delroy Lindo) and Lockhart (Christine Baranski) navigating a very different landscape after losing their biggest client, consequently forcing them to accept an offer to be a small subsidiary under a huge multinational law firm. This season will feature the exciting addition of Hugh Dancy (Hannibal, Homeland) and the return of The Good Wife veterans Michael J. Fox and Zach Grenier.

This seven-episode season of The Good Fight explores the American political climate, entwining storylines inspired by real societal issues such as censorship, fake news and terrorism.
