Just a few things from the movie that I looked up and found to be bogus:
1. "Only 10% of Clinton Foundation funds actually go to charitable causes." Go to Charity Navigator and look it up yourself. Its well over 80%.
2. "Hillary Clinton changed course from supporting reform in Congo to supporting the status quo in 2009." If you just google it, one of the first things you'll find is a New York Times article in which she is pushing for reforms THAT year.
That is just in the first 10 minutes.
In much of the movie, there are assertions made by the writer of the book (who narrates) which are not backed up in any way. He makes a claim leaves it at that. For a supposed documentary this is lazy at best.
There's plenty bad you can say about the Clintons, but this movie doesn't focus on the things that are provable for the most part. The film is flashy and well-edited and will naturally appeal to people with a certain political stance. Unfortunately, it is not accurate and will leave the viewer less informed about the topic than they were going into it.
