Hillary Clinton documentary mini-series a highlight of Sundance 2020’s ‘special events’ roster

While the 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls are trudging through the snows of Iowa and New Hampshire next January, the Democrat who won the nomination in 2016 might be enjoying Utah’s winter at the Sundance Film Festival.

“Hillary,” a four-hour documentary miniseries about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s life during and after her 2016 election loss to Donald Trump, has been selected as one of the festival’s Special Events offerings, Sundance officials announced Tuesday.

Though nothing is official yet, it’s expected that Clinton will be in attendance after screenings in Park City and Salt Lake City.

The documentary series is directed by Nanette Burstein, who has entertained Sundance audiences with documentaries on teen life (“American Teen,” 2008) and Hollywood mogul Robert Evans (“The Kid Stays in the Picture,” 2002).
