Dual Palin Documentaries to hit the screen..

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2011/06/sarah-palin-documentary-nick-broomfield-undefeated-new-movie.html?cid=6a00d8341c630a53ef014e8913fce7970d

Sarah Palin receives what is by all indications a very kind treatment in a new documentary that will premiere in theaters July 15. But a second, far more scathing Palin documentary is being prepared by a more experienced filmmaker. And it looks a lot more likely to stir the pot.

Nick Broomfield, the much-decorated British documentarian and muckraker, has quietly been interviewing Palin confidantes and is close to finishing his film about the former Alaska governor, said a person who was briefed on the film but asked not to be identified because of the secretive nature of the project.

According to the source, among the people who appear in the untitled movie are Palin’s parents as well as numerous ex-aides. Many of those people, the source added, describe her not as the likable repository of aw-shucks wisdom Palin likes to present but a more ruthless politician who has trampled over opponents and is now a potential presidential candidate.

News of the Broomfield film comes as AMC Theaters announced Friday it will play “The Undefeated," a film by Stephen Bannon, a Tea Party activist who interviewed numerous Palin supporters for his movie.

Broomfield’s film will play festivals before getting distribution in the 2012 election cycle in which Palin is expected to be a key player.

1. I've been waiting for Michael Moore to make Palin his next project.
