PBS Documentary on Trump & Hillary

[Maru]

Pretty fair and balanced. Interesting interviews with people who try to explain how they work... It's been shown on PBS.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are two of the most polarizing presidential candidates in modern history. Veteran FRONTLINE filmmaker Michael Kirk goes beyond the headlines to investigate what has shaped these two candidates, where they came from, how they lead and why they want one of the most difficult jobs imaginable.

I often watch PBS documentaries - they are far more comprehensive and much better produced than ours. Probably the greater budget?

I've watched a few BBC ones in the past and they are OK. BBC is said to be better here better than our national news (though may be the international leg we are mostly referring to).

I don't know that PBS has a lot of $$'s, but we do have more population, so maybe just more people donating. We get a few BBC/British shows on the PBS as well. They're also compelled to be more competitive because of the audience and internet-based competition.

I thought the documentary was really good and I enjoyed it. There were quite a few eye-openers which I found to be a real surprise given how much they've been covered in our national media. Although I am more open "empathetic" (with lack of a better term) to both their personality after watching, I still don't think I will vote for either over the issues.
