I titled this review "non-partisan" because I have equal disdain for both the far-left and the far-right. These types have chosen sides long ago and allow their minds to be controlled by party propaganda. Unfortunately this seems to be the case with the majority of dedicated Democrats, whose political views are based heavily on emotion and fantasy. Conservatives seem to be more inclined to allow facts to change their views, as evidenced by the plummeting support for G.W. Bush, who is selling out our country and our freedom to zionists and illegal aliens while flushing our constitutional rights straight down the toilet.

I gave the documentary five stars because it is based on facts. I'm not saying these facts are unarguable proof of what they implicate but they do make for some pretty hard circumstantial evidence. The producers of this video definitely did their homework. If you absorb all of the facts/evidence and analyze them collectively, it's pretty obvious that the Clintons are major liars, thieves, traitors and Communist counter-spies who have no respect for our culture, our sovereignty or the laws of our land, and who live only to serve themselves, at anyone and everyone's expense.

Don't take my word for it...watch the whole movie with an open mind and see if you can honestly tell yourself that it's nothing but a pack of Republican lies, as many of the reviewers here would have you believe. The reviews that were written by card-carrying moonbats were obviously fabricated by a few of those hurried shoppers who purchased the DVD by mistake because they thought it was a video edition of Bill Clinton's autobiography, "My Life". Equally obviously, they watched the first 5 or 10 minutes, then turned it off in anger and came here to write scathing reviews while pretending that they had watched and paid attention to the whole thing. They use blanket terms such as "political smear", "lies", "propaganda", etc. without referring to anything specific. At least, not truthfully specific.

One reviewer uses as example a perceived lack of evidence that Bill Clinton, in college, set a mattress up in a campus tree and lived there for "four months" as some sort of protest. Guess what...that little snippet begins at approximately 2.5 minutes into the show and is one of the most petty, irrelevant messages of the whole two-hours. If he'd watched further, it would have been driven from his memory by the more substantial allegations. He also proclaims, "ALL COPIES OF THE YEARBOOK CONTAINING A PICTURE OF THIS HAVE DISAPPEARED!?!?" The actual words of the movie's narrator are that all known copies of the campus NEWSPAPER issue, which featured a picture of Clinton in the tree, were "confiscated or destroyed". Quite a different aspect, I'd say. Not to mention the fact that the narrator says Clinton spent "days on end" in the tree. Where the below reviewer got "four months" is anyone's guess.

Another reviewer reports, "They offered no real facts or hard evidence to support any of their harsh claims against Bill Clinton". Whaaaaa...? The entire production not only shows interviews and quotes by Clinton bodyguards, policemen, federal agents and politicians, but also is strewn with photocopies of letters, court transcripts, newspaper articles, affidavits...you name it! What does she call "hard evidence"? Michael Moore showing a video of George Bush's head while he carefully explains to you what's going on inside of it? Please!

I'm pretty critical of Michael Moore and his "Fahrenheit 911". The title was ripped off from Ray Bradbury's old 1950's science-fiction novel "Fahrenheit 451" which may actually be appropriate considering that they're both works of fiction. I despise Moore's condescending little sing-song voice that indicates he's trying to explain something simple to an educationally-challenged nine-year-old. His use of opinion, conjecture and emotion-baiting Hollywood imagery, as opposed to hard facts, is ludicrous. But at least I watched it all the way through, with an open mind, and therefore have legitimate grounds for my opinions. To Moore's credit, however, he did add some facts. When I heard him tell about how, immediately following the WTC attack, all members of Bin-Laden's family in the U.S. were given free, summary transportation back to the Middle East without even having been interrogated by U.S. authorities, I was fairly enraged.

If you're sincerely interested in political analysis, "Bill Clinton: His Life" is a highly-interesting and well-researched documentary. It may or may not change or fortify your beliefs about the Clintons but if you're among the apparent minority of human beings who are capable of independent, analytical thought it's sure to give your brain a run around the block. All I can do is recommend that you put your partisan emotions on the back burner and watch the whole show with an open mind.

THE NEW PRESIDENT'S FIRST MOVE

Bill Clinton became the first president in the nation's history to fire every U.S. Attorney in the country.

HATRED OF POLICE

Away from the public spotlight, both Bill and, to a greater extent, Hillary, were contemptuous of policemen. Hillary was openly hostile, calling them "pigs". One trooper said that Hillary forbade him to speak when he accompanied her on a trip to Washington because, as she put it, he "sounded like a hick from Arkansas." Another officer said, "Deep down that woman really hated Arkansas, the people in it, and almost everything else except being top dog." Troopers volunteered to work several days of consecutive 16 hour shifts just to avoid traveling with her.

HILLARY'S MONEY SCHEMES

Hillary was allowed to open her account with a $1,000 deposit, rather than the $12,000 that Mercantile Exchange rules required. When she got out of the market in July 1979, her $1,000 investment had mushroomed into $100,000. Her 10,000 percent return on her investment was more than five times the rate of profit made by investors that had bought when she did and sold at the peak of the market during the same period.

One commodities analyst said that the odds against such prescience and mastery trading would have been about the same as those of finding the Dead Sea Scrolls on the steps of the State House in Little Rock.

DAN LASATER

Dan Lasater was an Arkansas bond dealer and a close friend, as well as a major contributor, to then Governor Clinton. A Federal grand jury indicted Dan Lasater and accused him of conspiring with Bill Clinton's brother Roger Clinton and others to knowingly and willfully possess with the intent to distribute and to distribute cocaine. Patsy Thomasson was given power of attorney to manage Lasater's business empire while he was in prison. Bill Clinton appointed her executive secretary of the Arkansas Democratic Party. She was given one of the most powerful positions in Washington-Director of the White House Office of Administration. In this position, Thomasson failed to provide proper security clearances for over one hundred White House staff members, many of whom were alleged drug users. Under her direction, random drug testing for the White House staff was eliminated.

DON TYSON

Poultry tycoon Don Tyson heavily financed Bill Clinton's election campaigns throughout his career. In return, he received millions of dollars in state tax breaks as well as favorable treatment in the form of relaxed environmental regulations. Under Clinton, the chicken industry effectively made its own rules in Arkansas.

FAHMY MALAK

Clinton's State Medical Examiner, Fahmy Malak, would cause much controversy. In 1985, a North Arkansas man was fatally shot, and Fahmay Malak ruled it a suicide. There were four gunshot wounds to the chest. In his most incredible ruling, Malak concluded that a James Milam had died of an ulcer. However, the man's skull was later recovered. He had been decapitated with a sharp knife.

CHINAGATE

The Lippo Group is a $12 billion Indonesian financial conglomerate with business ties to China's Communist government. During the 1980's, the Deputy Chairman of the Lippo Group, James Riady, was a frequent visitor to Arkansas. The Riady family would contribute heavily to the political campaigns of Governor Bill Clinton, including his 1992 Presidential Campaign.

In March, 1993, Lippo founder Mochtiar Riady sent a letter to Clinton asking for a number of foreign policy actions...one being to extend most favored nation trading status to China. Clinton delivered on every request, even when it meant reversing a previous public position. In early 1994, the Clinton administration ended a U.S. government investigation into allegations of sweat shop conditions, slave labor and other worker mistreatment in Indonesia.

This documentary covers, in depth, everything you could want to know about the death of Vince Foster.

It covers the Ron Brown crash and his death.

THE BODY COUNT

It lists many of casualties of those having knowledge or involvement in one or more of the Clinton scandals.

It has impeachment footage that you will love.

This documentary is truly incredible and will tell you more than you could ever imagine about the life and times of William Jefferson Clinton.

This movie covers such matters as President Clinton's methods for avoiding the draft to Whitewater to his dealings with the Red Chinese and everything in between. The mysterious deaths of would be witnesses is covered as well as the Clinton's disdain for law enforcement officers. Cattlegate and filegate are covered as is the suspicious death of Vince Foster. The lives of the Clinton's are covered from the late 1960's until his impeachment.

Nearly all of the scandals we heard about during the Clinton administration are covered in great depth. One of the best things about this movie is that it doesn't appear to have been done by anyone in the Republican party. It comes off as simply an objective informative documentary that could have very well been shown on A&E or PBS.

Just when you think you've seen it all... a new low point in muckraking comes along! This DVD is pure kitty litter -- but will obviously appeal to fans of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly and the rest of the lunatic fringe. The DVD invents charges and baseless claims that are so unbelievable it's amazing any thinking person would find them credible.

Despite the "all Monica all the time" scandal, America too quickly forgot that Clinton's eight years in office was the greatest economic growth period in our history. He left office with a $5 trillion budget surplus -- only to have Bush/Cheney turn it into a $10 trillion deficit. In time, history will praise Clinton and finally relegate Bush to the most incompetent and misguided administration in this nation's history. Sadly, this DVD will not contribute to that legacy.

Bill and Hillary should never have ever been in the Arkansas statehouse much less the White House. So many hard-working and honest people with exemplary backgrounds never rise in politics, while despicable people like the Clintons lie, cheat, & use others to forward their sick ambitions. This documentary is fact based and brings up so many scandals & unethical behaviors that it seems like fiction. The DVD however is chock full of testimonies of numerous people who were involved in, and witnessed the Clinton's sins, deceipts, and horrific behaviors. Only someone who is in love with the Clinton's lies would dislike this solid documentary. With Hillary running for president, this documentary should be updated and shown on Discovery or the History Channel. They are both scary people.

Disclaimer: I have no political motive for this review and I watched the entire documentary.

This film is organized and well-documented. Notice the large quantity of primary source material and photographs. It explores several angles and examines the different stages of Clinton's life. I watched it with the attempt to find fault and logical fallacy. One of the common threads woven into the events explored is Clinton's attempts to cover his tracks. Dozens of people who could testify against him were killed or disappeared. Some of the material seemed hard to believe so did some digging of my own. The public library is quite resourceful for archival sources. I looked into 4 or 5 cases of disappeared people mentioned in the film and was surprised how accurately they were portrayed.

I knew Bill Clinton had made his share of mistakes but this documentary has helped define the opinion I have of him as a person more than a politician. I will refrain from depicting my political views of Bill Clinton as they are irrelevant to this review.

In summary, I found no inaccuracies or logical fallacies in this documentary and would recommend it to the curious truth seeker.

This should be required viewing for every student of American history. It's well researched, as honest as they come, and very entertaining.

I saw this video years ago on Youtube (it's still available there). I recently saw a biography on Bill and it stirred thoughts of this old video. I began to look it up. More curious to see if anybody had come forth to properly debunk it or if Bill himself had pursued the makers of this for defamation. If anybody had made such major untrue claims about you, wouldn't you do everything in your power to bring the people to justice? Not entirely surprising, I found no debunkers or cases of defamation of this video. Yes, there are many who don't like it or don't want to believe the message it carries, but that's a far cry from credible opposition.

If you travel through this world: with an open mind, always looking for facts despite how much they go against your present view or beliefs, always ask why or how, if you just remain true to knowledge and self . . . the doors it will open and the roads it will lead you down will be quite a journey.

To the savvy, I believe you can read well between the lines where I stand. I wish you all the best on your journeys, may they bring you much adventure and delight.

The one word I would use to describe this movie is simple..."Disturbing"...and very eerie considering I grew up in Arkansas and I remember most of these murders when they happened. I have talked with people from Mena, Arkansas and they've all said that anyone that went near that air field were shot. The countless people that were shot in the back multiple times, but yet their deaths were ruled suicides. The many people that merely raised questions and whose lifes have never been the same. You need to see this movie if for nothing else...morbid curiousity. This movie is no different than "Farenheit 9/11", but with murders, sex, and cover-ups.

People with half a brain will think this is propaganda. However, those who have full possession of their faculties will realize more than a grain of truth is here. I grew up at the same time as Bill Clinton and hung out with the same type of radicals and "heads" that he did. Prevalent among that group were the dealers who had connections with the Mafia. I got to know a number of the "Family's" members pretty well, well enough for them to attempt to recruit me into the organization. They wanted me to go to Memphis, I think, and run the operation there. I politely declined, being somewhat concerned about the retirement plan. I remember them talking, jokingly I thought, about getting into politics so they could better control things. Years later when the Clintons appeared on the scene I began having flashbacks to those tender years. One day I realized that they behaved just like the Family members who tried to recruit me into the cause. Their "rules don't apply to us" attitude, as well as many other echos of that past made me wonder if they were not thus involved, recruited into the Family much as I almost was. This documentary seems to validate that impression. Of course, the newspaper I currently work for would never go so far as to accuse the Clintons of such ties, but that's not because they don't exist. Everyone knows that people who go against the Clintons have a notorious habit of disappearing. Don't short change the evidence presented here. There is more to it than you might think.
