“I provoke strong opinions,” states Hillary Clinton in the opening moments of the new trailer for the Hulu docuseries, aptly titled “Hillary.” And that is clearly an understatement.

For decades, Hillary Clinton has found herself morph into one of the most polarizing figures in American political history. The former First Lady to President Bill Clinton, Mrs. Clinton went on to become a Senator, Secretary of State, and then, most notably, a failed presidential candidate from the controversial 2016 election against Donald Trump.
And in the new Hulu series, no stone is left unturned. The series goes through Clinton’s upbringing and school days, as well as all the controversies that followed during her adult years leading into today. Perhaps most interesting for certain viewers is the fact that “Hillary” will contain some never-before-seen footage from the 2016 presidential campaign.

The series is directed by Nanette Burstein. The director is probably best known for her Oscar-nominated doc “On the Ropes.”
“Hillary” makes its debut at next week’s Sundance Film Festival before arriving on Hulu on March 6.
Here’s the synopsis:
A remarkably intimate portrait of a public woman, Hillary interweaves revealing moments from never-before-seen 2016 campaign footage with biographical chapters of her life. Featuring exclusive interviews with Hillary Rodham Clinton herself, Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, friends and journalists, the series examines how she became at once one of the most admired and vilified women in the world.
