Nick Broomfield’s quest for the real Sarah Palin.
A journey across the icy snows of Alaska in mid winter, to meet the school friends, family, and Republican colleagues that in previous days gave their heart, and souls to the charismatic, charming, intoxicating ex hockey mum.
But it’s not all plain sailing. People are frightened to talk, Wasilla makes Twin Peaks look like a walk in the park. It’s a devout evangelical community – 76 churches with a population of only 6 thousand, and the Crystal meth capitol of Alaska.
Who are the flying monkeys, the enemies, the friends, and most importantly – are you with her or against her? Join the quest and for Christ’s sake buy some thermals!
About Broomfield:
Nick was originally influenced by the observational style of Fred Wiseman, and Robert Leacock and Pennebaker, before moving on largely by accident to the more idiosyncratic style for which he is better known.

Cinema Verite Star Leacock Dies At 89
Pioneering documentary filmmaker Richard Leacock has died at the age of 89.
The British cinematographer passed away at his home in Paris, France on Wednesday following months of ill health, according to his daughter Victoria Leacock Hoffman.
Leacock was an early pioneer of the unobtrusive Cinema Verite camera technique, which inspired famed filmmakers including Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut and is said to have paved the way for reality television.
Leacock's most famous work remains his 1960 documentary Primary, which covered the Wisconsin Primary election battle between John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey as they vied for the Democrat party nomination for President of the United States.
Leacock is survived by his wife, Valerie Lalond, daughter Victoria, and a son, Robert Leacock.
