Citizens United, a nonprofit corporation, started producing conservative documentary films in 2005. When they released “Hillary: The Movie” on DirectTV in 2008, they sought assurance that the standard the FEC had applied to Moore’s film in 2004 would apply equally to theirs. They asked the district court in Washington DC to declare that the relevant section of BCRA would be unconstitutional as applied to their film, and for an injunction preventing the FEC from so enforcing it.
[/size]The district court saw things differently, and ordered summary judgment in the FEC’s favor, because the purpose of the film could only be (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/558/08-205/opinion.html) “to inform the electorate that Senator Clinton is unfit for office, that the United States would be a dangerous place in a President Hillary Clinton world, and that viewers should vote against her.”

It wasn't a great movie, but wasn't bad. Made no negative references to anyone other than military hierarchy. Certainly not Hillary Clinton.

That was my take as well. Didn't mention the ambassador begging for security 100 times. Much was left out and if I hadn't known HRC was responsible, I would not have known it from watching that movie.
