"The Undefeated: What the new Sarah Palin documentary gets right, and wrong, about her politics"
If nothing else, this movie appears to make clear how the media tried (still tries) to marginalize Sarah Palin.

David Weigel writes about it at Slate.com:
"The bulk of the movie–stuff he was told to cut down, but didn't–is a biography of Sarah Palin before her BlackBerry rang with John McCain on the line, asking her to be his running mate. If Palin's critics learned this stuff, Bannon just knows they'll change their minds about her.

They did not know she took on Big Oil in Alaska. A lot of them do not like her, do not agree with her politics, but they have a grudging admiration.'"
