Hillary Clinton stepped out in front of the crowd at Sundance Film Festival to a standing ovation, after an extremely enthusiastic crowd watched all four episodes of her new docuseries.
Hillary, a four-part docuseries directed by Academy Award-nominated director Nanette Burstein (On The Ropes), takes viewers through a thorough background on Clinton’s political career, from her college years to the 2016 presidential election. Clinton joined Burstein on stage following the Sundance premiere of all four hour-long episodes for a short Q&A that mostly consisted of audience questions.
As has been previously reported, Clinton did not mince words when it came to her former opponent and current presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. In the documentary, Clinton says Sanders “drove me crazy. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”
At Sundance, an audience member asked Clinton what she had to say to Sanders supporters who were in the audience on Saturday night. “Who would you tell them to vote for?” asked the audience member.
“People can support whoever they want to support,” responded Clinton. “But once we have a nominee, close ranks. Support that nominee.” Her response was met with enthusiastic applause from the Sundance audience.
“My race with Barack Obama was much closer than my race with Bernie Sanders,” Clinton continued and added that as soon as it was clear that Obama would be the nominee in 2008, “I dropped out, I did a hundred events for him.”
Clinton urged the Democratic nominees in the 2020 presidential race to follow suit.
Earlier in the panel, Clinton noted that women candidates running this year face a new challenge. “The new element is the really vicious online community that goes after women,” said Clinton. “You see this particularly aimed at Elizabeth Warren.”
In response to another question of whether she thought the state of the country was repairable, Clinton said, “I think it is repairable as long as we win this November.”
All four episodes of Hillary will play on Hulu on March 6.
