Awe-inspiring
I did not go into the movie as a "fan" - but an interested bystander. I had watched Sarah quickly rise to fame and saw how the media instantly vilified her. I didn't know what was "true" about Sarah, but I knew people felt passionately about her on both sides of the aisle. What I learned in two hours was how easily the media can erase a person's identity and reset it to fit the desired outcome. Governor Palin was highly respected, well regarded, and widely popular on both sides of the aisle in Alaska - but we in the lower 48 have come to believe from the media Palin is a right-wing extremist with a myopic view of the world, unrelenting and unable to create compromise. Her RECORD in Alaska strongly proves otherwise. I encourage everyone, regardless of political affiliation, to watch this movie. If you don't want to buy it, rent it - also keep in mind that none of the proceeds go to Palin herself: so don't feel like you are "supporting" her by seeing it. I am thankful I watched it. And I hope it opens a few eyes to the reality of how the media paints the picture they want us to see - not the picture as it appears to the naked eye. And this is media from both the conservative AND liberal perspective.
